Cheney Rallies with Harris to Defend Democracy in Key States
Liz Cheney’s decision to campaign with Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin highlights her determination to prevent Donald Trump from securing another term. A long-time critic of Trump, Cheney has endorsed Harris in this key swing state, urging voters to prioritize democracy over party allegiance. The event underscores Cheney’s broader mission to weaken Trump’s influence in critical battlegrounds ahead of Election Day.
Harris is expected to appeal directly to Republican and independent voters, emphasizing her commitment to upholding the rule of law and constitutional principles. The setting of Ripon, known as the birthplace of the Republican Party, adds historical weight to Cheney and Harris’s joint message. They aim to unite voters who are concerned about the future of democracy under Trump’s leadership.
Cheney’s vocal opposition to Trump began with his actions during the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, where she condemned his role in inciting the event. Since then, she has made it clear that her primary focus is defending democratic institutions, even if it means crossing party lines. In 2022, she campaigned against Trump-aligned Republicans, continuing her efforts to marginalize Trumpism within the GOP.
This campaign stop is part of a broader push by the Harris-Walz ticket to court Republican voters who are disillusioned with Trump’s politics. Harris and Cheney’s cooperation symbolizes a significant moment in American politics, where traditional party divisions are being put aside in favor of a shared commitment to defending democracy and constitutional values.
Cheney’s alliance with Harris showcases her resolve to prioritize democracy over partisan politics, urging voters to reflect on the importance of constitutional preservation in this pivotal election.
“I think it is crucially important… those of us who believe in the defense of our democracy… have a duty… to put those things above politics.” — Liz Cheney
