The former GOP congresswoman will join Harris at an event in Ripon, Wis., as the campaign works to win over Republicans who have grown weary of Trump.

Liz Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman and daughter of a former Republican vice president, will join Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday at a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin, the city commonly recognized as the birthplace of the Republican Party.

Cheney’s will campaign for Harris for the first time amid a larger effort by the Democratic ticket to capture the support of Republicans disillusioned with former President Donald Trump.

Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection and led the committee that would ultimately refer Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, endorsed Harris last month in North Carolina.

    Harris focusing on getting Republicans to vote for her when she’s abandoned the uncommitted movement (who are are literally registered Democrats) represents a level of political malpractice well be discussing for decades to come.

    Harris needs maybe 2-3% to get this over the hump and it’s all there in voters who don’t want a hot war in the Middle East and want to see Gazans respected as human beings the same way Israelis are.
