Harris rallies with anti-Trump Republican in swing state battle
WASHINGTON, DC, United States (AFP) — Democratic White House candidate Kamala Harris teamed up Thursday up with Liz Cheney, a high-profile Republican opponent of Donald Trump who voted to impeach the former president for inciting the 2021 assault on the Capitol.
Hours before the pair were onstage in the key swing state of Wisconsin, Trump rallied supporters in another closely-fought battleground, Michigan, where he reprised the false claims of election fraud that led to the deadly violence.
His appearance came in the wake of a bombshell filing Wednesday in his prosecution for an alleged criminal plot to subvert the 2020 election, which argued that he had no presidential immunity for the “private criminal effort” and provided new evidence of his alleged misconduct.
“We did great in 2016 — a lot of people don’t know. We did much better in 2020 — we won. We won, we did win.”
