Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump are intensifying their efforts in battleground states Wisconsin and Michigan as they vie for crucial wins in the upcoming election. Harris is set to embark on a two-day visit to these states, while Trump will be holding a rally in Michigan on Thursday.

One notable development is the joint appearance of Liz Cheney, a prominent Republican figure who has been critical of Trump, alongside Harris at a campaign event in Wisconsin. This event aims to appeal to moderate voters and challenge the influence of the former president.

Cheney, who played a key role in investigating the January 6 insurrection, has faced backlash from Trump and her own party. Her endorsement of Harris and their joint appearance at a historic venue in Ripon, Wisconsin, holds significance in the political landscape.
