Harris and Cheney will head to three key swing states where they will look to win over suburban voters who are uneasy about Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris is joining forces again with Republican former congresswoman Liz Cheney, a prominent critic of Donald Trump, in a series of moderated conversations aimed at courting voters disillusioned by the former president’s influence over the Republican Party.
With the 2024 presidential election fast approaching, Harris is focusing her campaign efforts on winning over key Republican voters in three suburban battleground counties that were previously carried by Nikki Haley during the GOP primaries: Chester County, Pennsylvania; Oakland County, Michigan; and Waukesha County, Wisconsin.
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are vital bricks in Harris’ path to the White House; no Democrat has won a presidential election without Pennsylvania since 1948, and holding on to the three so-called Rust Belt states (along with Nebraska’s Democrat-leaning second district) will give the vice president exactly 270 Electoral College votes — the winning threshold.When Are the Events?
The first conversation will take place in Chester County in the early afternoon.
