Summary
Former Republican Representative Liz Cheney is campaigning with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, the historical birthplace of the Republican Party. This collaboration highlights Cheney’s significant break from her party, as she has publicly endorsed Harris over former President Donald Trump, citing concerns over Trump’s actions and their implications for democracy.
Cheney’s decision to support Harris comes after her own political exile from the Republican Party, where she faced backlash for her criticisms of Trump, particularly regarding the events surrounding January 6, 2021. During the campaign event, Cheney emphasized her commitment to constitutional values and the dangers posed by Trump, stating, “Violence does not and must never determine who rules us. Voters do.” The choice of Ripon for this joint appearance is symbolically poignant, given its role in the formation of the GOP in 1854, and serves as a platform for both women to appeal to moderate voters in a critical battleground state. Harris’s visit marks her fifth trip to Wisconsin during the campaign and is strategically timed following recent developments in Trump’s legal challenges.
