Jan. 6 thrust back into the spotlight in final election days​

Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
October 4, 2024

Donald Trump’s attempt to unravel American democracy to stay in power four years ago is suddenly back at the epicenter of another election — weeks before the ex-president could pull off a stunning White House comeback.

Special counsel Jack Smith and former Rep. Liz Cheney have thrust the issue of the GOP nominee’s false 2020 fraud claims into the endgame of Trump’s neck-and-neck showdown with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, while reviving memories of a day that will stain American history.

Appearing with Harris in Wisconsin on Thursday, Cheney presented herself as part of a bipartisan movement to block Trump from the White House. But four years on, the mob assault by Trump supporters on the US Capitol, the ex-president’s attempt to subvert a free and fair vote, and his incessant efforts to fracture trust in the US democratic system may not impede his return to power.

This is a reality that reflects both the divided state of the nation and the GOP’s willingness to prioritize power. But most of all, it’s a testimony to the often-malevolent magnetism that has made Trump a historic and enduring political figure.

Cheney, a hardline conservative, appeared with the vice president in the critical battleground to urge independents and Trump-wary Republicans to vote for the Democrat despite their sharp differences on policy.

“The most conservative of conservative values is fidelity to our Constitution,” Cheney said in Ripon, Wisconsin. “As we meet here today, our republic faces a threat unlike any we have faced before.” She added: “In this election, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship is not an aspiration – it is our duty.”

“What January 6 shows us is that there is not an ounce, not an ounce of compassion in Donald Trump. He is petty, he is vindictive, and he is cruel, and Donald Trump is not fit to lead this good and great nation.”

It was a remarkable scene, which was only made possible by the political earthquake unleashed by Trump’s conduct four years ago. A sign of how much things have changed in American politics: Cheney’s father, former vice president Dick Cheney — who was reviled by Democrats, especially over the Iraq War — has also endorsed Harris. His daughter declared: “I have never voted for a Democrat, but this year I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

The former Wyoming congresswoman lost her leadership position in the House GOP and eventually her seat in a landslide to a primary challenger, after standing up to Trump’s attempt to defy the will of voters in 2020. And while she was still in the House, she helped lead a bipartisan special committee that recommended criminal charges for the twice-impeached ex-president over the January 6, 2021, riot. In Wisconsin, a state that could be decided by narrow margins next month, Cheney could have a big impact if she’s able to move even a few hundred votes.

January 6 riot is child's play compared to Kiev riot which was backed by Democrats.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday highlighted her record on labor issues, contrasting it with former President Donald Trump’s, while visiting a fire department near Detroit, just after a major firefighters’ union declined to endorse either candidate.

Harris said the profession is “personal” for her, as her brother-in-law just retired from his firefighter job in California, continuing, “I know what you guys do, and I know your character, I know your families. I know what it means for the whole community, for you all to take on the lives that you have decided to live. And I’m so thankful you guys work long shifts with unpredictable hours, some of the most dangerous conditions.”

The vice president told the firefighters she was “thankful for the union that supports you and your right all that you deserve,” also expressing gratitude to other labor unions represented at the event at the Redford Township Fire Department in Michigan.

The president of the International Association of Firefighters announced on Thursday the group decided not to endorse a presidential candidate this election cycle in an effort to “preserve and strengthen” unity, after previously backing President Joe Biden in 2020.

Harris also commented on the tentative deal reached between dockworkers and management that allowed members of the International Longshoremen’s Association to resume work on Friday after being on strike, calling it “another example of the power of collective bargaining.”
