ROYAL OAK, MI – This is what pitching Kamala Harris to Republicans sounded like from former Rep. Liz Cheney.

“What I can tell you is that what the Vice President is saying about being a president for all Americans and caring deeply about this country, those are things that come across very clearly and directly,” she said on stage Monday sitting next to Kamala Harris.

It was a campaign event aimed at making Cheney Republicans — anti-Trump but still self-described conservatives — comfortable with voting for the Democratic nominee. It is a message built on trust: believe me, I am one of you, Cheney relayed, and I am telling you we can live with this Democrat in office.
