Vice President Kamala Harris is shortly due to deliver remarks at a symbolic rally in Wisconsin designed to target Republican and Republican-leaning voters. LIVESTREAM
- The event's location in Ripon, Wisconsin is notable as it was the site where abolitionists created what would become the Republican Party. Harris’ co-speaker is also noteworthy: Former Republican rep Liz Cheney, making her first appearance alongside Harris since endorsing the Democrat ticket last month.
- Politico reports: “The event will center around a country over party message, and [Harris] will make an explicit and direct appeal to Republican and independent voters. Look for Harris to lean into her promises to uphold the rule of law and the Constitution and attack former President Donald Trump for, in her view, doing the opposite.”
- Bloomberg notes: “Harris will say that while Republicans may not agree with her on every issue, she will uphold the Constitution and rule of law if elected and place the good governance above ideology… Harris will praise Cheney… whose own rise in the party was halted by her staunch opposition to Trump.”
