Republican former congresswoman Liz Cheney will join Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail in Wisconsin on Thursday.
It’s an effort by the former Wyoming congresswoman to steer undecided voters away from former President Donald Trump with less than five weeks until Election Day.
At Thursday’s event in Ripon, home to a school known as the birthplace of the Republican Party, Harris is expected to make a direct appeal to Republican and independent voters. She will point out the historical significance of Ripon and promise to stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution, even if they disagree with her on policy issues.
Cheney, who had said she was committed to doing whatever was necessary to prevent Trump from returning to the White House, expressed her support for Harris.
She even said that she had serious policy disagreements with Harris on several issues, but chose to support her because she believed that “those of us who believe in defending our democracy, defending our Constitution and the survival of our democracy have a duty in this election to come together to put those things above politics.”
In the coming days, as CNN notes, similar events will follow in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Arizona, Nevada, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
