    WASHINGTON -

    Liz Cheney, one of Donald Trump鈥檚 fiercest Republican antagonists, will join Democrat Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Wisconsin on Thursday aimed at reaching out to moderate voters and rattling the former president.

    Cheney was the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, earning Trump鈥檚 disdain and effectively exiling herself from her own party.

    She lost her Wyoming seat to a Trump-endorsed candidate two years ago and she endorsed Harris, the Democratic nominee, last month. The two women will appear together at a college in Ripon, home to a white schoolhouse where a series of meetings held in 1854 to oppose slavery鈥檚 expansion led to the birth of the Republican Party.

    Harris is opening a two-day trip to Wisconsin and Michigan, and Trump will be in Michigan on Thursday as the two candidates grapple for wins in the 鈥渂lue wall鈥 battleground states, which also include Pennsylvania.

    President Joe Biden said Thursday that he wasn鈥檛 concerned about a Trump-Harris race coming down to the wire because "it always gets this close.鈥

    鈥淪he鈥檚 gonna do fine,鈥 Biden said of Harris to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on his way to visit storm-ravaged Georgia and Florida. He added that Harris鈥 running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, did well in his debate with Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance during Tuesday's debate in New York.

    鈥淭he other guy lost the debate,鈥 Biden said. 鈥淗e misrepresented everything.鈥

    Harris鈥 visit to Wisconsin also comes one day after a federal judge unsealed a 165-page court filing outlining prosecutors鈥 case against Trump for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and obstruction.

    It鈥檚 uncommon, to say the least, for a candidate to give a nod to the origins of the opposing party in the closing weeks of a presidential campaign. Not only that, the Cheney name was once anathema to Democrats who deplored Dick Cheney, Liz鈥檚 father, for his role as vice president under George W. Bush.

    During the 2020 campaign, Liz Cheney criticized Harris as 鈥渁 radical liberal" who 鈥渨ants to recreate America in the image of what鈥檚 happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle,鈥 a reference to unrest that took place in those cities after the murder of George Floyd.

    But Jan. 6 was a turning point for Liz Cheney and her family. Both Cheneys are backing Harris, part of a cadre of current and former Republican officials who have broken with the vast majority of their party, which remains in Trump鈥檚 corner. Harris wants to portray her candidacy as a patriotic choice for independent and conservative voters who were disturbed by Trump鈥檚 unwillingness to cede power. Trump continues to deny his defeat with false claims of voter fraud.

    Harris on Friday will hold a campaign rally in Flint, Michigan, continuing her tour of states that have been critical to Democratic victories. Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan in 2016, and Joe Biden won them in 2020.

    Trump on Thursday will hold a rally in Saginaw County, a bellwether in the center of the state.

    The Republican candidate has ramped up his focus on Michigan, holding two rallies there less than a week ago. In 2020, Biden's win in Saginaw County by a slim 303 votes contributed to his victory in the state.
