Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney joined Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Thursday for a campaign event where she publicly endorsed the Democratic presidential nominee in the battleground state. Cheney, known for her conservative background, expressed her support for Harris, stating, 'I have never voted for a Democrat, but this year I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.'
The crowd responded with applause and chants of 'Thank you, Liz,' to which Cheney replied, 'But mostly, we are not going back.' She emphasized the importance of the current moment in the nation's history and praised Harris for her efforts to unite people across the political spectrum.
This event is part of Cheney's ongoing campaign to sway undecided voters away from former President Donald Trump as the election approaches. Cheney, who has been vocal about preventing Trump's return to the White House, previously endorsed Harris in North Carolina last month.
The campaign event took place in Ripon, Wisconsin, a town known as the birthplace of the Republican Party. Harris made a direct appeal to Republican and independent voters, highlighting the historical significance of Ripon and promising to uphold the rule of law and the Constitution, even when facing disagreements on policy issues.
With less than five weeks until Election Day, the collaboration between Cheney and Harris underscores the efforts to bridge political divides and appeal to a broader range of voters in this crucial election.
