Harris is campaigning side-by-side with Liz Cheney in Wisconsin today. I'm extremely skeptical that this helps sway any voters.

Ah yes, the way to swing voters, especially young voters, is to *check notes* campaign with a transphobic war hawk whose father is a huge war criminal in the middle of escalating regional war

Doesn't have to convince very many people to matter... And maybe quite a lot. Every Republican who votes for Harris is worth double. One vote taken away, one gained. In PA, GA, AZ, NC... the vote difference might be less than 1%. So yes, this is a good idea.

I think it makes sense for Texas voters to see Harris with Cheney, but Harris doesn't have time to go to Texas, so high visibility elsewhere will have to do. The Republican mobilization in Texas around Allred (I heard whispers of it before Cheney made her endorsement) is really interesting to me.

It will help to sway a few, if they don't screw it up. White exurban GOP women who don't plan to tell their husbands how they voted, mostly, but maybe a few others. The hard question is whether they'll lose more in other demographics than they gain in that one. No lunch is free.

Nikki Haley got like 80,000 votes in Wisconsin so yeah I think it's worth a shot

😑

No, but it if my mother (MN, but bear with me) is any indication, this is exactly the type of thing that would activate a bunch of women in their 60's to help out with the home strecth. *Eyes the copy of Oath & Honor she went out of the way to mail me, but will never be read*

It matters to my lifelong republican husband who always votes

It could potentially help convince a few undecided but I do not feel that this is big enough of an impact.

While I agree with you, there is something to the idea of creating a permission structure for wavering moderates, assuming you can do so without making the type of policy concessions that would jeopardize support on the left. Harris seems to be nailing that balance
