Former congresswoman Liz Cheney, one of Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican antagonists, will join Democrat Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Wisconsin on Thursday aimed at reaching out to moderate voters.

Ms Cheney was the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the January 6 2021 attack on the Capitol in Washington, earning former president Trump’s disdain and effectively exiling herself from her own party.
