Kamala Harris is campaigning in Ripon, Wisconsin today: Live updates

Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Wisconsin on Thursday for her fifth campaign rally in the state since embracing the Democratic nomination for president.

Harris will be in Ripon, eastern Wisconsin, for a smaller event than her previous rallies.

The event will take place at Ripon College, with Harris expected to take the stage around 5pm. Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney is expected to appear with Harris at the event.

Harris hosting a campaign event in Ripon is significant because the city is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party. Harris wants to address the significance of the Little White School House, which hosted meetings in 1854 that helped found the Republican Party, according to a senior campaign official. The campaign also touted the support of former Republican lawmakers from Wisconsin ahead of Thursday's event.
