2024 Election development: Vice President Kamala Harris will team up with leading anti-Trump Republican Liz Cheney at the town in battleground Wisconsin that claims to be the birthplace of the GOP
In an effort to win the vote of disgruntled Republicans as she battles former President Trump in the race for the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris is heading to the town that claims to be the birthplace of the GOP. A senior Harris campaign official says that the vice president on Thursday will team up in battleground Wisconsin with former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, a one-time rising conservative star in the GOP who became her party's most visible anti-Trump leader.
As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris.' Cheney's father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also endorsed Harris.
Cheney, who has been vocal in emphasizing the importance of defending the nation's democratic process and of putting country before party, was one of only two Republicans who served on a special select committee organized by House Democrats that investigated the riot at the Capitol. In 2022, she was ousted in the GOP congressional primary in Wyoming to a candidate that was backed by Trump.
The Cheneys are part of a growing list of prominent Republicans who are supporting Harris. Two other high-profile anti-Trump Republicans — former Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan - had speaking roles at the Democratic National Convention, which was held six weeks ago in Chicago. And Harris is backed by more than 200 alumni who served in both Bush administrations or worked for the late Sen. John McCain and Sen.
