宾夕法尼亚州马尔文。-副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯周一在宾夕法尼亚州、密歇根州和威斯康星州的郊区城市与前怀俄明州共和党众议员利兹·切尼举行了一系列有节制的谈话，其间切尼努力减轻共和党人对投票给民主党候选人的担忧。

　　切尼在密歇根州的活动中对共和党人说:“如果你担心，你可以凭良心投票，不必对任何人说一句话，11月5日将有数百万共和党人这样做，投票给副总统哈里斯。”

　　切尼和哈里斯还努力在副总统和前总统唐纳德·特朗普之间形成对比，他们形容特朗普是一个威胁，“不稳定”和不值得信任的人。

　　离选举日还有两周，这是哈里斯竞选团队努力争取关键战场州的摇摆选民的一部分。哈里斯与切尼在宾夕法尼亚州切斯特县的郊区进行了交谈;密歇根州奥克兰县;和威斯康辛州的沃克夏县。

　　这些活动旨在吸引投票给共和党的郊区白人女性，发生在威斯康辛州亲自投票开始的前一天。对话由堡垒出版社和长期共和党战略家莎拉·朗韦尔和保守派电台主持人兼作家查理·赛克斯主持。

　　哈里斯和前总统唐纳德·特朗普本周都在战场州安排了活动，因为他们努力在预计将是一场势均力敌的竞争中赢得选民。周一，特朗普在战场州北卡罗来纳州度过了一段时间。

　　在宾夕法尼亚州，哈里斯和切尼努力消除共和党人对他们党内可能投票支持副总统的提名人的不满，并关注特朗普对国家和民主构成的危险。

　　哈里斯说:“在我们国家的历史上，有几个月挑战我们，我们每个人都要真正决定我们什么时候支持我们谈论的那些事情，特别是国家高于政党的事情。”

　　切尼是特朗普的坚定批评者9月份支持哈里斯尽管他们的党派和政策有所不同，但她说“我的经历和背景中的每一件事都起了作用”来支持哈里斯。

　　“在这场竞选中，我们有机会投票支持你可以信赖的人。我们不会总是意见一致，但我知道副总统哈里斯将永远做她认为对这个国家有益的事情。她有一颗真诚的心，这就是为什么我很荣幸能在这个地方。”

　　在密歇根州的活动中，切尼说，她理解为什么一些共和党人会发现很难公开支持哈里斯。

　　“我当然有很多共和党人会对我说，‘我不能公开。’他们确实担心一系列的事情，包括暴力。但是，但是他们会做正确的事情，”她说。

　　在威斯康星州密尔沃基郊区的最后一站，哈里斯继续将自己与前总统特朗普进行对比。

　　“我们想要一个坐在椭圆形办公室里，把全部时间花在策划报复上的美国总统，还是一个真正关注美国人民的总统?”她问。

　　切尼继续抨击特朗普，说他不可信。

　　“我认为，就像在其他一些问题上一样，这个问题的底线是，你知道，你不能指望他。你不能相信他。我们见过他这个人。我们已经看到了残酷，美国应该得到更好的。”

　　切尼在2021年1月6日的事件后投票弹劾特朗普，并担任调查1月6日国会大厦袭击事件的众议院特别委员会副主席。她因批评前总统而遭到特朗普和其他共和党人的强烈反对，并受到共和党全国委员会的谴责。

　　自从她支持哈里斯后，切尼竞选副总统——包括在战场威斯康星州，她称特朗普心胸狭窄、报复心强、残忍。

　　切尼是少数几个著名的共和党人之一，包括她的父亲，前副总统迪克·切尼，他们都承诺支持哈里斯的竞选。

　　密尔沃基的民主党策略师乔·泽佩基告诉美国广播公司新闻，这些事件可能转移的实际票数很少，但在预计将以微弱优势决定的州可能很重要。

　　泽佩基说，理想情况下，这些事件将带来“哈里斯可能需要最后一次提醒的共和党人，在那个方向上的最后一次推动。”

　　来自费城外特拉华县的66岁选民乔治·利维(George Levy)表示，在特朗普2015年进入政治舞台之前，他一直是一名无党派人士。

　　“我再也不回去了。从现在起，我将成为一名民主党人，”他告诉美国广播公司新闻，他排队等候进入宾夕法尼亚州马尔文的亲密剧院，这是费城郊区，也是当天第一次切尼讨论的地点。

　　“[切尼]为我们的国家做了正确的事情，我为她这样做感到骄傲，”他说。“我知道她不赞同许多民主政策，但她相信我们的国家，热爱我们的国家，我很欣赏她直言不讳。”

　　在周一的一篇社交媒体帖子中，特朗普攻击哈里斯与切尼一起竞选，声称这位前怀俄明州共和党众议员将带领美国与“人类已知的每一个穆斯林国家”开战，就像她的父亲和前副总统迪克·切尼“推动”前总统乔治·w·布什参加中东战争一样。

　　哈里斯本周的活动将有更多的互动，选民可以看到副总统回答问题，包括周三在宾夕法尼亚州与CNN的市政厅。

　　Harris, Cheney work to sway undecided voters, GOP women in 3 battleground states

　　MALVERN, Pa. --Vice President Kamala Harris held a series of moderated conversations with former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney in suburban cities in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin on Monday during which Cheney worked to assuage concerns that Republicans may have about voting for the Democratic candidate.

　　"If you're at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody, and there will be millions of Republicans who do that on Nov. 5, vote for Vice President Harris," Cheney said to Republicans at the Michigan event.

　　Cheney and Harris also worked to draw contrast between the vice president and former President Donald Trump, someone they described as a threat, "unstable" and untrustworthy.

　　With two weeks until Election Day, the effort was part of the Harris campaign's effort to reach swing voters in the crucial battleground states. Harris spoke with Cheney in the suburban areas of Chester County, Pennsylvania; Oakland County, Michigan; and Waukesha County, Wisconsin.

　　The events -- aimed to appeal to white suburban women who vote Republican -- happened the day before in-person voting began in Wisconsin. The conversations were moderated by Bulwark publisher and longtime Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative radio host and writer Charlie Sykes.

　　Both Harris and former President Donald Trump had events scheduled for battleground states this week as they worked to win over voters in what's expected to be a close contest. On Monday, Trump spent time in in the battleground state of North Carolina.

　　While in Pennsylvania, Harris and Cheney worked to pick off Republicans disaffected with their party's nominee who may vote for the vice president and focus on the dangers Trump poses to the country and to democracy.

　　"There are months in the history of our country which challenge us, each of us, to really decide when we stand for those things that we talk about, including, in particular, country over party," Harris said.

　　Cheney, a staunch Trump critic whoendorsed Harris in Septemberdespite their party and policy differences, said "every single thing in my experience and in my background has played a part" in her supporting Harris.

　　"In this race, we have the opportunity to vote for and support somebody you can count on. We're not always going to agree, but I know Vice President Harris will always do what she believes is right for this country. She has a sincere heart, and that's why I'm honored to be in this place."

　　At the Michigan event, Cheney said that she understood why some Republicans would find it difficult to publicly support Harris.

　　"I certainly have many Republicans who will say to me, 'I can't be public.' They do worry about a whole range of things, including violence. But, but they'll do the right thing," she said.

　　At the final leg in a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harris continued to draw a contrast between herself and former President Trump.

　　"Do we want a president of the United States who spends his full time plotting revenge while they sit in the Oval Office, or a president who is actually focused on the American people?" she asked.

　　Cheney continued to slam Trump and said he can't be trusted.

　　"I think that the bottom line on this, as on some of the other issues, is, you know, you just can't count on him. You cannot trust him. We've seen the man that he is. We've seen the cruelty and America deserves much better."

　　Cheney voted to impeach Trump following the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and was vice chair of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. She received backlash from Trump and other Republicans for her criticism of the former president and was censured by the Republican National Committee.

　　Since her endorsement of Harris,Cheney has campaigned for the vice president-- including in battleground Wisconsin, where she called Trump petty, vindictive and cruel.

　　Cheney is among a handful of prominent Republicans, including her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who have pledged to support Harris' bid.

　　The number of actual votes these events could move, with just two weeks to go, is small -- yet could be significant in states expected to be decided by slim margins, Joe Zepecki, a Milwaukee-based Democratic strategist, told ABC News.

　　Ideally, Zepecki said, the events would bring over "Republicans available to Harris who might need one last reminder, one last push in that direction."

　　George Levy, a 66-year-old voter from Delaware County, outside Philadelphia, said he was an independent until Trump entered the political arena in 2015.

　　"I'm never going back. I'll be a Democrat from now on," he told ABC News as he waited in line to enter the intimate theater in Malvern, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb that was the site of the first Cheney discussion of the day.

　　"[Cheney] did the right thing for our country, and I'm proud of her for doing that," he said. "I know she doesn't agree with many Democratic policies, but she believes in our country and loves our country, and I appreciate her speaking out."

　　In a social media post on Monday, Trump attacked Harris for campaigning with Cheney, claiming that the former Wyoming Republican congresswoman is going to lead the United States to go to war with "every Muslim Country known to mankind" like her father and former Vice President Dick Cheney "pushed" former President Georgia W. Bush to the war in the Middle East.

　　Harris' events this week will feature more interactivity where voters see the vice president taking questions -- including during her town hall with CNN on Wednesday in Pennsylvania.
