Trump-Hater Liz Cheney to Campaign with Kamala Harris at Birthplace of Republican Party
SUMMARY
Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney will campaign with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday in Ripon, Wisconsin, the historic birthplace of the Republican Party. This collaboration highlights the growing political divide within the GOP as Cheney, a longtime critic of Donald Trump, aligns herself with a Democratic campaign. Cheney lost her seat in Congress by a decisive 40-point margin in the 2022 Wyoming GOP primary, largely due to her vocal opposition to Trump, who labeled her a “warmonger” and an establishment puppet. Cheney, once a staunch Republican and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has now endorsed Kamala Harris, citing the "danger" posed by Trump. "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 declared in September. At the event, Harris is expected to praise Cheney for her 'patriotism' and commitment to putting country over party.
