Vice President Kamala Harris and former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney painted former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and national security in a bipartisan appeal to Republican and undecided voters Monday in Chester County, Pennsylvania, as the 2024 presidential election enters its final stretch.

Harris and Cheney launched a three-state campaign tour with a moderated conversation in Malvern. The vice president and former congresswoman will also be in Michigan and Wisconsin on Monday.

"People around the world are watching," the Democratic nominee said. "And sometimes, I do fret a bit about whether we, as Americans, truly understand how important we are to the world."

Monday was Harris's second time in Pennsylvania in as many weeks to talk to Republican voters uneasy about voting for Trump. The Keystone State's 19 electoral votes are crucial to either Harris or Trump's path to victory, and a CBS News poll conducted in early September had the pair tied in Pennsylvania with 50% each. Pennsylvania voted for Trump in 2016 but flipped to President Biden in 2020.
