Harris Does Town Hall Event With Former Rep. Liz Cheney

it’s been widely covered that Vice President Kamala Harris hit the campaign trail on Monday alongside former Republican Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney, aiming to court moderate Republicans in key battleground states. Their joint appearances, targeting suburban areas like Chester County, Pennsylvania; Oakland County, Michigan; and Waukesha County, Wisconsin, reflect a deliberate effort to attract traditionally conservative voters disillusioned with Trump-era populism. Each stop will feature moderated discussions with Sarah Longwell, a neoconservative publisher at “The Bulwark,” and Charlie Sykes, another prominent voice from the same outlet.

Harris’s alliance with Cheney appears to be a calculated outreach to the so-called “country club Republicans”—affluent, socially liberal voters who reject Trump’s combative style but remain wary of progressive Democrats. Yet this strategy presents risks, especially given Cheney’s controversial political history. Once a staunch advocate of interventionist foreign policy, she carries the baggage of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, whose legacy is closely tied to the unpopular Iraq War. Trump seized on this in a Truth Social post, launching a sharp critique of both Cheney and Harris. He ridiculed Cheney as a “war hawk” and branded Harris as the “Worst Vice President in the History of the United States,” a familiar refrain in his rhetoric. Trump also aimed to stoke tensions among Muslim voters, a significant demographic in Michigan, who have expressed increasing frustration with the Biden administration’s foreign policy toward Israel.

Reports suggest these disillusioned Muslim-American voters, already mobilizing under the banner of groups like Drive 75, could undermine Harris’s efforts in Michigan, a crucial swing state. If turnout drops among these voters, it could tip the state in Trump’s favor, creating a serious obstacle for the Democrats.

Then this happened…hoo boy:
