Kamala Hires Liz Cheney?

This is so pathetic.

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to campaign in key suburban battleground states next week, where she will be joined by former Republican Representative Liz Cheney. This collaboration highlights a unique crossover as Cheney, once a promising figure within the GOP, has made it her mission to prevent former President Trump from reclaiming the presidency following the events of January 6, 2021.

Harris and Cheney will participate in a series of discussions aimed at suburban voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The campaign has enlisted Sarah Longwell, a respected Republican strategist and publisher of The Bulwark, alongside conservative radio host Charlie Sykes, to moderate these conversations. The venues will include areas like Chester County, Philadelphia, and Waukesha County in Milwaukee, strategically timed just before early voting begins in Wisconsin.

This initiative appears to target disenchanted Republican voters who may be hesitant to support Trump in the upcoming election. Just weeks ago, Cheney campaigned for Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, further solidifying her role as a prominent conservative voice endorsing the Democratic nominee.

Cheney, who is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, gained notoriety as one of the few Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the January 6 incident. This decision led to her ousting from House GOP leadership and intensified criticism from Trump and his supporters. Despite these challenges, Cheney has remained steadfast in her belief that prioritizing the integrity of democracy is essential, even if it means crossing party lines.

Recently, Cheney articulated her concerns about Trump’s character and his potential return to power. She characterized the threat to the republic as unprecedented, arguing that Trump cannot be trusted with authority again. Her statements resonate with the idea that true patriotism sometimes requires putting the country above party allegiance.

Harris is also garnering support from a diverse coalition of over 200 alumni from both Bush administrations and prominent figures like former Senator John McCain and Mitt Romney. Additionally, she has received backing from over 100 former national security officials and other noteworthy Republicans.

In contrast, the Trump campaign has dismissed this Republican support for Harris, framing it as an attempt by irrelevant figures to regain attention by endorsing policies they perceive as detrimental to America, such as increased immigration and economic instability. They predict that these former Republicans will be sidelined once their usefulness to Democrats has expired, asserting confidence in Trump’s re-election in Pennsylvania.

As the political landscape evolves, the collaboration between Harris and Cheney serves as a pivotal moment, reflecting a fracture within the GOP that could significantly impact the upcoming election.
