Two weeks from the election, Harris toured Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin alongside former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, an outspoken anti-Trump Republican.

While it’s not surprising that Harris visited the most hotly contested battlegrounds of the campaign in its home stretch, she departed from her customary rally-style events.

Instead she chose a “town hall” format alongside Cheney, a series of discussions hosted by figures picked with an eye toward the other side of the political divide.

There was Republican pollster and publisher Sarah Longwell in Pennsylvania and conservative commentator Charlie Sykes in Wisconsin. The third moderator was Maria Shriver in Michigan, niece of JFK and former first lady of California under Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
