Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, co-leader of the House Jan. 6 committee and a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump, is endorsing Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin in her tough reelection fight in Michigan.
The move, which a member of Cheney’s staff confirmed to CNBC, is the Wyoming Republican’s first-ever endorsement of a Democrat. It’s also Cheney’s first endorsement since Trump-backed GOP challenger Harriet Hageman trounced the incumbent in the Wyoming primary.
Cheney and Slotkin are set to campaign together in Lansing on Tuesday, the Democrat’s campaign said.
