Cheney and Harris Unite to Reach Moderate Republicans
On Monday, Liz Cheney joined forces with Vice President Kamala Harris in a strategic move aimed at engaging moderate Republicans who may feel hesitant about supporting Donald Trump but are reluctant to express their concerns openly.
Targeting Key Counties
The duo’s campaign trail included visits to three pivotal counties: Chester County in Pennsylvania, Oakland County in Michigan, and Waukesha County in Wisconsin. Notably, these areas were previously won by Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who competed against Trump for the Republican nomination.
A Moral Choice for Voters
During a town hall meeting held in Michigan, Cheney characterized the upcoming November election as a critical decision between “right and wrong.”
The Silent Majority of Republicans?
“I have encountered numerous Republicans who confide that they cannot speak out publicly,” Cheney remarked. “Their concerns range from various issues including potential violence; however, they will ultimately make the right choice.” She expressed her belief that “millions of moderate Republicans,” too intimidated to oppose Trump openly, would cast their votes for Harris.
“For those worried about public perception, remember you can vote according to your beliefs without disclosing your choice,” she added confidently as applause resonated through the crowd. “There will be countless Republicans doing just that on November 5th by supporting Vice President Harris.”
A Shift from Party Loyalty
Cheney’s stance has led her to become somewhat estranged from the Republican Party after her involvement in investigating Trump’s role during the January 6th events at Capitol Hill.
This shift culminated in her losing her congressional seat two years ago during a primary election.
