Harris-Cheney Republican, Alongside anti-Trump Republican Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris spent Monday directly appealing to Republican and independent voters in three crucial swing states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Harris and Cheney, who targeted suburban districts with a large number of college-educated, traditionally Republican voters who have shown signs of shifting toward Democrats, held town hall conversations instead of traditional campaign rallies with the 2024 election just two weeks away.

Disgruntled Republicans received a letter from Liz Cheney, who gained notoriety for her strong criticism of Donald Trump and her participation in the congressional probe into the Capitol attack on January 6. In Michigan, Cheney told voters, “You can vote your conscience and not have to say a word to anybody,” expressing the sentiment shared by millions of Republicans.

Harris mirrored Cheney’s views, pointing out that even if they didn’t speak out in public, many Republicans had privately expressed gratitude to Cheney for her opposition to Trump. Harris was able to highlight her main policy themes, such as government-funded in-home nursing care and ongoing support for Ukraine, thanks to the town hall format, which featured pre-selected questions and welcoming audiences.

The trip’s emphasis on topics like abortion, where Cheney, who opposed strong Republican-led prohibitions despite being anti-abortion, exposed a widening rift within the Republican Party. In these pivotal swing states, the Harris-Cheney campaign sought to erode Trump’s support by appealing to disenchanted Republicans and undecided voters.

According to polls, Trump and Harris are running closely in these crucial states. Harris is placing a wager that Cheney’s presence and speech will strike a chord with some Republican voters who are still uneasy with Trump’s personality and ideas, even though less than 10% of Republicans presently support Democrats. If this outreach is successful, it may convince important Republican supporters to switch parties, which would facilitate Harris’s journey to the White House.

The Harris team, at the very least, thinks it is worthwhile to try to weaken Trump’s support in places that have historically tended Republican, as even minor changes could make all the difference in the election.
