Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is set to join Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin. This event is part of a larger effort by the Democratic ticket to appeal to Republicans who are disillusioned with former President Donald Trump. Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection, endorsed Harris last month, along with her father. Trump responded by criticizing the Cheneys on Truth Social. Ripon, known as the birthplace of the Republican Party, holds symbolism that Harris plans to emphasize during her campaign event there. Harris has routinely criticized Trump for what she sees as his disrespect for the Constitution and the rule of law. The Harris campaign has gained the support of several high-profile Republicans, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, the son of late Sen. John McCain, and former Sen. Jeff Flake. The campaign has also launched efforts like Wisconsin Republicans for Harris-Walz to attract support from conservatives and Republicans who believe in upholding democratic values. This event comes as part of a broader effort by the Harris-Walz ticket to appeal to a bipartisan audience and expand their support base among Republicans.
