Vice President Kamala Harris will be joined by former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney for a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the GOP. The event will take place in a historic schoolhouse where meetings opposing slavery’s expansion led to the creation of the Republican party in 1854. Harris, in an effort to appeal to moderate Republican voters, will praise Cheney for putting country before party and her patriotism. Harris will emphasize her commitment to upholding the constitution and the rule of law, highlighting her opposition to anyone who calls for the termination of the constitution.
Wisconsin is a battleground state that both Harris and former President Donald Trump are vying to win. Cheney, who endorsed Harris for president last month, will make her first campaign appearance with Harris since the endorsement. Recent polling shows that while Harris leads Trump among all voters, she is struggling to gain traction with Republican voters, with only 5% of polled Republicans saying they would support her in the election. The event highlights the ongoing efforts by Harris and Cheney to appeal to a wider range of voters and build support across party lines as the election approaches.
