The event, moderated by former California First Lady Maria Shriver, was focused on bridging political differences and defending democratic values.
In an unprecedented display of bipartisan solidarity, former congresswoman and Republican Liz Cheney joined Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris at an event titled “Country Over Party” at the Royal Oak Music Theater. The event, moderated by former California First Lady Maria Shriver, was focused on bridging political differences and defending democratic values.
Cheney, known for her opposition to former President Donald Trump, first endorsed Harris earlier this month. During the event in Oakland, Michigan, she rallied fellow Republicans to focus on the country’s democracy rather than political division.
During the discussion, Harris addressed major bipartisan policy issues, including gun control, which has been a divisive topic between the left and right political groups. Harris highlighted her support for the Second Amendment while advocating for safe gun use, a viewpoint she has reiterated several times throughout her campaign. Harris also addressed the crowd, focusing on her bipartisan efforts to unite the nation in her “New Way Forward” vision.
