Both Trump and Harris are campaigning in Texas ahead of the election; Beyoncé to perform at Houston rally

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney will campaign in Michigan on Monday with Rep. Elissa Slotkin, the Democrats’ candidate for Michigan Senate.

Cheney and Slotkin will be in Grand Rapids, once a conservative stronghold, days after the prominent Republican endorsed Slotkin against his Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers.

In a statement, Cheney said her support for the open and competitive Senate race was “not about political differences” but rather “about doing what’s right for our country.”

“The stakes in this election are unlike anything we have ever faced before, but the future of our democracy is at stake,” said Cheney, a former member of the Republican Party leadership in the House of Representatives, in Wednesday’s announcement.

“At a time when our democracy is being challenged, Liz Cheney’s voice has been critical,” Slotkin said in a statement, adding: “While we certainly don’t agree on every issue, I “We look forward to welcoming him back to Michigan next week to talk about the issues all Americans can come together on.”

Monday night’s event won’t be Cheney’s first time on the campaign trail with Slotkin. Two years ago, she supported Michigan’s Democratic candidate for Congress, marking the first time Cheney supported a candidate across party lines. This year, of course, she supported Harris over Trump in the presidential race.

At a 2022 event in Slotkin’s congressional district, Cheney urged voters to “look beyond partisan politics” for “the survival of our republic” — a tone the Wyoming Republican adopted during from a series of appearances with Harris this week.

Earlier this month, Cheney supported Democrats in two contested congressional elections in New York and Pennsylvania, which could hamper Republicans’ chances of retaining power in the lower house.
