Former Republican Representative Liz Cheney campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, asserting that the upcoming November elections are crucial for democracy. At the rally, Cheney articulated her reasons for supporting Harris, marking a significant shift in her political stance. She announced that, despite being a lifelong Republican, she would be voting for a Democrat for the first time.

Cheney's support for Harris comes as a response to her concerns about former President Donald Trump's actions regarding the 2020 election and the Capitol riot in 2021. She stated, "Our republic faces a threat unlike any we have faced before," citing Trump's attempts to overturn election results. Cheney called for prioritizing patriotism over partisanship in the current political climate.

In contrast, the Republican National Committee highlighted economic issues affecting voters in Wisconsin, emphasizing concerns about rising costs since Harris took office. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley criticized the Vice President’s policies, framing them as detrimental to Wisconsin residents.

Harris, while acknowledging their differences, praised Cheney for her courage and the importance of standing up for democratic ideals. She expressed hope for a return to a functional two-party system and emphasized unity as Americans over party affiliation.
