Kamala Harris to make appeal to swing state Republicans

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris will make a three state swing with former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) Monday with stops in the key suburban counties of Chester County, Pa., Oakland County, Mich., and Waukesha County, Wisc.

Longtime Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative radio host and writer Charlie Sykes will moderate the events, which are billed as conversations, according to a senior campaign official granted anonymity to preview the schedule.

Cheney and her father, former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, both recently endorsed Harris' presidential bid. The former House member has become one of Harris' most vocal surrogates encouraging Republicans to "meet the moment" and vote for the current vice president.

Cheney was ousted as chair of the House Republican Conference – the third highest-ranking House Republican – over her criticism of Trump after he lost re-election in 2020 and tried to overturn the results.

She was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and served as the vice chair of the House select committee charged with investigating the attempted insurrection.

Longwell is the founder of the Republican Accountability Project, which supports Republicans who want accountability for the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection attempt. Sykes, who was the voice of conservative radio in Milwaukee for nearly 25 years is now a fierce critic of Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. He recently endorsed Harris, saying it is not enough to just oppose Trump's election.
