Oct. 3 (UPI) — Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney will join Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris on the campaign trail in Wisconsin, as the vice president tries to wrangle votes in the birthplace of the Republican Party.
Cheney, the son of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney , will join Harris at a campaign event in Ripon, Wis., where a meeting in 1854 at the Little White Schoolhouse preceded the formation of the Republican party.
Both Cheneys have endorsed Harris, with Liz Cheney making it clear that she remains a conservative but is more concerned by the “danger” Trump poses if he returns to the White House.
She was one of a handful of Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment following the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol and served on the U.S. House Select committee that investigated the riots, which earned her a censure from the Republican National Committee.
She lost her House seat in the 2022 Republican primaries to Harriet Hagemen, who was endorsed by Trump.
