Speaking in Ripon, the birthplace\u2062 of \u2062the GOP, Cheney, a staunch critic of Donald Trump, declared her support\u2064 for Harris, stating it was\u200b the first time she would vote for \u2064a Democrat. She emphasized that \u2063her decision was prompted by Trump&#8217;s actions following the 2020 election and\u200c his \u2064involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots. Cheney asserted that the current political landscape requires prioritizing patriotism over partisanship. Despite her historic alignment with\u2062 the Republican Party, she criticized Trump as unfit for leadership and called for accountability\u200d among those who downplay his actions. Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee shifted the focus to economic issues impacting Wisconsin voters, countering Cheney&#8217;s statements. Cheney\u2019s endorsement marks a significant\u2064 departure from traditional \u2062GOP lines, especially in a state crucial for\u2063 the upcoming elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Liz Cheney stumps for Harris in Wisconsin to put &lsquo;patriotism ahead of partisanship&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1747323\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former Republican Wyoming Rep.

But in a move days later that caught many Democrats off guard, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also endorsed Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Liz Cheney emphasized Thursday that her motivation to stump for Harris was singular in nature: her opinion on Trump&rsquo;s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of the 2021 Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our republic faces a threat unlike any we have faced before: a former president who attempted to stay in power by unraveling the foundations of our republic, by refusing to accept the lawful results confirmed by dozens of courts of the 2020 election,&rdquo; Liz Cheney claimed, repeating a frequent Democratic talking point. &ldquo;In this election, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship is not an aspiration. It is our duty.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, left, arrives to speak at a campaign event with former congresswoman Liz Cheney at Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024.
