In a remarkable step, Republican Liz Cheney recently took a stand behind the democratic vice president Kamala Harri. At a campaign appearance in Ripon, Wisconsin, Cheney, who repeatedly warned of Donald Trump, said that she will vote for a democrat for the first time this year. "I've never voted for a democrat, but this year I proudly give up my voice for Kamala Harris," said Cheney. This happened in the context of the hard -fought presidential election campaign, which will take place on November 5, 2024.

The Wisconsin constituency is considered crucial because he sees both Trump and Joe Biden as the winner in the last elections, which makes him a "swing state". This means that the outcome of the choice here is uncertain and both the Democrats and the Republicans have to promote these voters intensively. "We have to defeat Trump," Cheney appealed and asked the citizens to face "Donald Trump's deprivation". With her support for Harris, she may also want to address other voters who want to distance themselves from Trump.

cheney and their views

Although she herself represents conservative values such as low taxes and a limited government, Cheney feels her duty to support Harris. "I know that she [Harris] loves our country and that she will be a president for all Americans," she said. Harris replied that Cheney was a "leader" who faced party -political interests. She described Cheney as "a true patriot".

However, it cannot be overlooked that Cheney is now isolated in the GOP (Grand Old Party). Her open criticisms of Trump meant that she lost her position within the party and finally also her headquarters in the House of Representatives. In these discussions, Cheney is often seen as a representative of the old establishment, which makes it difficult for her to achieve Trump supporters. Their statements are more likely to be aimed at undecided voters who may not have a fixed opinion yet.

the electoral system background

All of this happens in the context of a special electoral system in the United States, which enables certain states to play a crucial role. In the presidential election, not only the total number of votes, but also the 538 delegates from the States. Most states award all election men to the candidates, who receives the majority in their region, regardless of the specific shares. Therefore, campaign appearances often take place in the Swing States like Wisconsin to mobilize voters.

The situation will remain exciting, as the elections approach and both Cheney and Harris try to address a wide range of voters. How this will affect the election result remains to be seen, but the struggle for voices is already in full swing, and other states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia are also in focus. The challenge for Cheney will be to mobilize enough support to have a significant impact on the choice.

A deepening into the dynamics of this political landscape and the specific strategies of both candidates could prove to be essential to understand the upcoming election results. But one thing is clear: every voice will count on this political battlefield. And not only Cheney, but also many other voters are looking forward to great challenges in the coming months.
