Harris hunts for GOP votes as Democrats fear her base support is eroding

Vice President Kamala Harris teamed up with former Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday in an aggressive bid to win over centrist Republicans who are on the fence about voting for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

The Harris campaign held moderated conversations in an effort to court centrists in the suburbs in battlegrounds that delivered Trump victory in 2016 but swung back for President Joe Biden in 2020.  

Harris is stumping alongside Cheney in an effort to win over voters who might have backed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who had a base of supporters who were centrist and college-educated. 

The former Wyoming congresswoman who is the daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney was exiled from the GOP after participating in a congressional investigation of Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. 

She previously was in Republican leadership in the House before supporting Trump’s second impeachment. She was eventually booted from leadership and defeated by a Trump-backed challenger in a GOP primary for her seat. Cheney called the choice between Harris and Trump, specifically on foreign policy, “absolutely clear.”

“Our adversaries know they can play Donald Trump,” Cheney said. “They absolutely know they can play him, and we simply can’t afford to take that risk.”

Cheney, speaking at the event in Malvern, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb, asked women there who oppose abortion to put their feelings on the topic aside and suggested that Republican restrictions on abortion had gone too far following the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that there is no constitutional right to abortion.

If the Harris campaign thinks Liz Cheney will help win republican votes, then they truly live in a different world. But this is what comes from trying to win an election with artificial candidates and artificial proposals, and hoping only to stall for time and run out the clock.

The Dems are campaigning on the dishonest claim that the Republicans will take away their Social Security. They know they are lying, but do it anyway just about every election

In Proverbs 6:17, “hands that shed innocent blood” are listed among the things that God detests. This is a potent reminder of the call to uphold justice, protect the innocent, and respect the sanctity of human life.

One of the ways is to get people living in NYC to register to vote in upstate rural areas - this could help flip the House, while keeping NY Blue. In NY there is no local residence requirement, other than simply being a resident of NY State.
