Trump and Harris campaign in Texas ahead of election; Beyoncé will perform at a rally in Houston

Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney will campaign in Michigan on Monday alongside Republican Elissa Slotkin, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan.

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

In a statement, Cheney said her support for a competitive, open Senate race “is not based on political differences” but rather “to do what is right for our country.”

“The stakes of this election are unlike anything we have ever faced before, but the future of our democracy hangs in the balance,” Cheney, a former member of the House Republican leadership, said in a statement Wednesday.

“At a moment when our democracy is being questioned, Liz Cheney’s voice is critical,” Slotkin said in a statement, adding: “While we certainly don’t agree on all issues, I look forward to welcoming her back to Michigan next week to to talk about issues on which all Americans can come together.”

Monday’s event won’t be Cheney’s first appearance on the campaign trail with Slotkin. Two years ago, she endorsed a Democrat from Michigan for Congress, marking the first time Cheney has endorsed a candidate across party lines. This year, of course, she endorsed 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 struck during a series of appearances with Harris this week.

Earlier this month, Cheney supported Democrats in two contentious House races in New York and Pennsylvania that could have hurt Republicans’ chances of retaining power in the lower chamber.
