Former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney will campaign with Vice President Kamala Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party.
During the visit on Thursday, Harris is expected to praise Cheney for breaking with her party and endorsing her over former President Donald Trump. Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, have both endorsed Harris for president.
“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and 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 told an audience at Duke University last month when she endorsed Harris.
When Cheney was in Congress, she was one of the most right-leaning members. She was shunned by her party in the fallout of the Jan. 6 attack after she rejected Trump for his actions that day and became one of his most outspoken critics. The campaign visit comes just one day after the federal criminal case against Trump over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election became public in a 165-page brief.
This will be Cheney’s first campaign event alongside Harris. Cheney endorsed and recently appeared with Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), who is running to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
