Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris last month in North Carolina, will campaign for Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party. Cheney, along with her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, have publicly stated that they will be voting for Harris in the upcoming election due to the threat they see in Donald Trump. Trump has criticized the Cheneys on social media following their endorsements.
Harris is focusing her campaign on upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, contrasting with Trump’s attempts to undermine the 2020 election results. She has gained support from other high-profile Republicans, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger and Sen. Jeff Flake. Harris has also launched the Wisconsin Republicans for Harris-Walz coalition, aiming to rally support from Republicans disillusioned with Trump.
The campaign event in Ripon will emphasize the founding principles of the Republican Party and the importance of defending the Constitution. Harris has been critical of Trump’s attempts to dismiss the election results and his disregard for constitutional norms. The campaign has also garnered support from former staffers of Republican presidents George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, highlighting the bipartisan appeal of the Harris-Walz ticket.
