A Republican former congresswoman who is the daughter of a staunchly conservative vice president. A small city known as the birthplace of the Republican Party in the middle of a battleground state.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris and former Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the most prominent Republican to endorse her campaign, traveled to Ripon in central Wisconsin where meetings in 1854 helped form the Republican Party. Just a mile away from a one-room schoolhouse where those gatherings were held, the pair tore into former President Donald J. Trump for his role in igniting a riot at the Capitol, and they warned of the threat he poses to democracy should he return to power.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Cheney said that, in November, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship should not merely be an aspiration \u2014 \u201cit is our duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Her remarks, delivered with an air of somber restraint, were as much a public indictment of Mr. Trump as they were an endorsement of Ms. Harris. Calling his candidacy \u201ca threat unlike any we have faced before,\u201d she called on conservatives to join her in an \u201curgent cause\u201d to elect Ms. Harris and to reject what she called the former president\u2019s \u201cdepraved cruelty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cI know that she will be a president who will defend the rule of law,\u201d Ms. Cheney said of Ms. Harris, \u201cand I know that she will be a president who can inspire all of our children and, if I might say so, especially our little girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The joint appearance was one of the starkest examples to date of how Ms. Harris has endeavored to pitch herself as a unifying president who values pragmatism over partisanship. Her overarching goal is to win over moderate and independent voters who will be crucial to delivering her a decisive victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The event took place at Ripon College, where hundreds of people gathered on a lawn near the campus\u2019s main building, which was adorned with American flags and posters that read: \u201cCountry over party.\u201d At several points in the program, the crowd cheered, \u201cThank you, Liz\u201d and \u201cKa-ma-la.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Ms. Harris said that while she and Ms. Cheney might not agree on much, they shared a love of country and democratic ideals.<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Both women spoke about the significance of the site where the Republican Party\u2019s founding leaders first met, bonding over their opposition to slavery. \u201cLiz Cheney stands in the finest traditions of its leaders,\u201d Ms. Harris said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The vice president said that Ms. Cheney\u2019s endorsement held \u201cspecial significance,\u201d and that while the two politicians might not agree on much, they shared a love of country and democratic ideals. Repeating her promise to be a president for all Americans regardless of party, Ms. Harris said she had sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution six times in her career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe president of the United States must not look at our country through the narrow lens of ideology or petty partisanship or self-interest,\u201d Ms. Harris said. \u201cThe president of the United States must not look at our country as an instrument for their own ambitions. Our nation is not some spoil to be won. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">She added, \u201cAnd so, in the face of those who would endanger our magnificent experiment, people of every party must stand together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Harris\u2019s campaign has used <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/04\/us\/politics\/liz-cheney-kamala-harris-vote.html\" title=\"\">Ms. Cheney\u2019s endorsement<\/a>, and those of a stream of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/18\/us\/politics\/republican-officials-harris-endorsement.html\" title=\"\">other Republicans<\/a>, in assailing Mr. Trump as a threat to the republic, and in blunting accusations by his campaign that the vice president is a \u201cradical liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump responded in the early hours of Friday, writing on his social media site that Ms. Cheney was a \u201clow IQ War Hawk\u201d and that she and Ms. Harris were \u201ca pathetic couple\u201d who were \u201csuffering gravely from Trump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, blasted the records of both women afterward. \u201cThe both of them are made for each other \u2014 proponents of endless wars, killers of Social Security, and enemies of American workers,\u201d he said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Harris\u2019s campaign has sought <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/29\/us\/politics\/kamala-harris-2020-positions.html\" title=\"\">to recast her political image as a left-leaning Californian<\/a> by downplaying or abandoning some of the progressive positions she held when she first ran for president in the 2020 race. During this campaign, she has branded herself a \u201cpragmatist\u201d and a \u201ccapitalist,\u201d and has spoken more openly about issues that appeal to the conservative base, like gun ownership. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/29\/us\/politics\/harris-cnn-interview.html\" title=\"\">She has also suggested that she would appoint a Republican<\/a> to her cabinet, if elected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">In a presidential race that may be won by razor-thin margins in November, Wisconsin appears to be a near tossup between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump. President Biden won the state by only 20,600 votes in 2020, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/28\/us\/politics\/harris-trump-poll-michigan-wisconsin.html\" title=\"\">a recent poll<\/a> by The New York Times and Siena College showed Ms. Harris with 49 percent support among likely voters, versus Mr. Trump at 47 percent.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Ms. Cheney once called Ms. Harris\u2019s voting record in the Senate \u201cto the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.\u201d She added, \u201cIt\u2019s very clear, she is a radical liberal.\u201d They are now allied in trying to defeat Mr. Trump.<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Harris\u2019s decision to appear alongside Ms. Cheney, a Wisconsin native, signals that her campaign is hoping to appeal to Republican voters who have been repelled by Mr. Trump\u2019s style of politics. The two women agree on little politically beyond their distaste for Mr. Trump. They had next to no relationship when they overlapped in Congress, though they did speak on the phone about Ms. Cheney\u2019s decision to endorse the vice president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Cheney was a onetime critic of Ms. Harris. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/liz-cheney-kamala-harris-voting-record-bernie-warren\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In an August 2020 interview<\/a> on Fox News, shortly after Mr. Biden chose her as his running mate, Ms. Cheney called Ms. Harris \u2019s voting record in the Senate \u201cto the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.\u201d She added, \u201cIt\u2019s very clear, she is a radical liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">But after the Capitol attack, Ms. Cheney set partisan labels aside. She became the top Republican on the House committee that investigated Mr. Trump\u2019s role in the riot. Suddenly an outcast in her party, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/08\/16\/us\/politics\/harriet-hageman-liz-cheney-wyoming.html\" title=\"\">she later lost her seat<\/a> to a Trump-backed challenger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Cheney\u2019s appearance for Ms. Harris on Thursday was also striking because of the timing: On Wednesday, a 165-page brief from the special counsel, Jack Smith, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/02\/us\/politics\/takeaways-jack-smith-trump-brief.html\" title=\"\">laid out new evidence<\/a> of how Mr. Trump tried to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">During her speech, Ms. Cheney brought up the fresh details, including Mr. Trump\u2019s apparent nonchalance when he was implored to ensure the safety of his vice president, Mike Pence, whom rioters had threatened to hang on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cSo what?\u201d the former president said, according to the brief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Cheney told the crowd, \u201cWe have a responsibility, all of us, to remind people that our institutions don\u2019t defend themselves.\u201d She added, \u201cWe the people defend our institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Calling Mr. Trump \u201cvindictive,\u201d Ms. Cheney said \u201cany person who would do these things can never be trusted with power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ms. Cheney first said she planned to vote for Ms. Harris at a conference last month in North Carolina. It was a major step in a long turnabout for a staunchly conservative former lawmaker, who is pro-gun, anti-abortion and hawkish on national security issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Days later, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, said that he would also vote <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/06\/us\/politics\/dick-cheney-kamala-harris.html\" title=\"\">for Ms. Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">On Thursday, Ms. Cheney made clear that she had not strayed from her traditional, Republican bona fides. Her campaign work started at age 10, she said, when she helped seal envelopes for President Gerald Ford\u2019s re-election campaign. She cast her first vote for a presidential race in 1984, she went on, and referred to herself as a Reagan Republican.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cI was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray-tanning,\u201d she jabbed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump, for his part, held a rally on Thursday in Michigan, where Ms. Harris will campaign on Friday. During his speech, he continued to claim that he won the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Nicholas Nehamas<!-- --> and <!-- -->Reid J.
