Vice President Kamala Harris is set to campaign with Liz Cheney, a high-profile Republican who has endorsed her, in a notable event taking place on Thursday in Wisconsin at a historically symbolic location: the birthplace of the Republican Party.
Their appearance together is aimed at appealing to Republican voters who, while holding conservative views, reject the politics of former President Donald Trump. The event will be held in Ripon, Wisconsin, the site of key meetings that led to the GOP’s founding in 1854.
Although Harris and Cheney have little in common politically aside from their opposition to Trump, Cheney’s endorsement adds to the broad coalition of support that Harris has garnered. Cheney, who grew up in Virginia and represented Wyoming in Congress, has become an outspoken critic of Trump, particularly after his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Her support for Harris, along with that of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, emphasizes the unique political alliances that Harris has formed in her presidential campaign.
