Former U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney continues to be at the intersection of our country's political divide in the battle for the White House.

She spent Monday campaigning with Vice President Kamala Harris in battleground states, including Pennsylvania.

The former GOP Congresswoman from Wyoming and former chair of the House Republican Conference voted to impeach former President Donald Trump the second time, lost her leadership position, and went on to serve as vice chair of the Select Committee on the January 6, 2021 attack.

I had the privilege of sitting down for a long form interview with Cheney last week, when she packed the Erie Bayfront Convention Center with a record 3,500 plus people for the opening of the Jefferson Educational Society's Global Summit.

Cheney still calls herself a conservative, but when asked if she's still a republican, she sidesteps the moniker.

I asked her to clarify why after a career of working for republican policies and ideals, she chose not only to endorse Democratic Nominee Kamala Harris but decided to campaign for her.

Cheney said she believes Harris would be a president for all Americans and said that after spending time with her, she knows the the nominee understands this political moment. "She understands the coalition that is supporting her is an historic one, and I think that, I know that she is someone who absolutely will defend the rule of law. And so for all those reasons, I felt that it was important to actually endorse her and work to get her elected," the former congresswoman said.

Liz Cheney is not the only notable name in national politics spending time in Erie in the final days of the 2024 campaign. 

We asked Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas for his take on the Cheney change of heart.  Sen. Cotton was in Erie campaigning for GOP U.S. Senate Candidate Dave McCormick. "Liz Cheney I think has changed a lot over the last four years, I'm not sure why," Sen. Cotton said.  "But Kamala Harris is the same San Francisco liberal she always was, Donald Trump is the same America first champion of the working people of Pennsylvania that he always was, and I think that's what it's going to come down to decide this election, not former politicians," he added.

But Liz Cheney, the daughter of a former Vice President, may not be a "former politician." Speculation continues about whether she could be named to a cabinet post if the Harris-Walz ticket wins the White House.

I asked former Congresswoman Cheney about the possibility of a cabinet post, the fears of undecided voters who don't like democratic policies, the widening Middle East conflict, the bi-partisan report on the Secret Service failures at the Donald Trump rally at the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds and more.

You can see the complete conversation with Liz Cheney this weekend October 26-27 on the Insider Election Countdown, and we'll hear a little more from Senator Tom Cotton too.
