Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump after the January 6 insurrection, endorsed Harris last month, citing the danger posed by Donald Trump to the Republic.Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney on Thursday joined and formally endorsed Vice Pres. Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party.
The Harris campaign continues to win support from high-profile Republicans, including former Rep. Adam Kinzinger and former Sen. Jeff Flake, as part of a broader effort to capture disaffected Republican voters.Cheney, who lost her Wyoming seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate two years ago, said of Harris: "I know that she loves our country, and I know she will be a president for all Americans."
Wisconsin is a critical swing state where Harris currently holds a narrow 1.7-point polling lead over Trump, according to FiveThirtyEight's weighted average.Denouncing former Pres. Donald Trump, she said she "never voted for a Democrat" but will "proudly" cast her vote for Harris, adding: "Violence does not and must never determine who rules us. Voters do."
