"Thank you Liz!" chants for Liz Cheney as she takes the stage at the Harris rally in Ripon, Wisconsin

Liz Cheney: "I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray-tanning."

Liz Cheney: "I have never voted for a Democrat. But this year I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

Liz Cheney: "In this election, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship is not an aspiration. It is our duty."

Trump: "Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice our Capitol to allow law enforcement officers to be beaten and brutalized in his name ... I don't care if you are a Democratic or a Republican or an independent, that is depravity and we must never become numb to it."

notable that Fox News is not carrying Liz Cheney's speech live

Liz Cheney: "Our institutions also held because of VP Mike Pence, who refused to violate his oath to the constitution. And that is why Mike Pence is not Donald Trump's running mate today. Instead, JD Vance is on the ticket."

Liz Cheney: "I am confident that John Adams meant women too."

Here's the end of Liz Cheney's remarkable speech at the Kamala Harris rally in Wisconsin. It was fantastic.

Cheney introduces Kamala Harris, prompting more "thank you Liz!" chants

Kamala Harris on Liz Cheney: "She's been an extraordinary national leader, and has served with great honor ... a true patriot. It is my profound honor to have your support."

HARRIS: Who will abide by the oath to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution?

CROWD: Ka-ma-la! Ka-ma-la!

HARRIS: And therein lies the profound difference between Donald Trump and me. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

Kamala Harris: "The tragic truth that we are facing in this election is that there is actually an honest question about whether one of the candidates will uphold the oath to the constitution."

Kamala Harris: "In the face of those who would endanger our magnificent experiment, people of every party must stand together."

Harris: "In our debate, Donald Trump couldn't bring himself to say he wanted Ukraine to win the war ... I believe that in the global struggle between tyranny and democracy, the president of the United States must always be on the side of freedom."

The Harris-Cheney rally is over. It was a remarkable display of bipartisanship. If you appreciate my thread covering it, please subscribe to my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy Public Notice and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks. publicnotice.co/subscribe
