Republican Representative Liz Cheney lost the Wyoming primary, according to media projections. She conceded the race to Harriet Hageman, who was endorsed by former United States President Donald Trump. Cheney is currently the highest-profile Trump critic in the GOP, voting to impeach him following the Capitol riot. She is also one of only two Republican representatives who agreed to take part in the January 6 committee, which is investigating the Capitol incident. The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, she has held Wyoming’s at-large congressional district since 2017 and was the House Republican Conference chair from 2019 to 2021. Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney stated that she could “easily” have been reelected to office but “it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election.” She lost her primary after voting to impeach Trump and refusing his claim about voter fraud in 2020. “This primary election is over, but now the real work begins,” Cheney said. “If we do not condemn the conspiracies and the lies, if we do not hold those responsible to account, we will be excusing this conduct and it will become a feature of all elections. America will never be the same,” she warned.
NN: I guarantee you every Republican facing election is watching. King Trump love him or hate him is a power to recon with. The FBI raiding a former president over a document dispute that Trump had a license at one time to posses is not enough. I hasten to point out my old pal and nemeses Hillary had a server in her janitors closet chock full of classified documents…..SO documents among the mops or golf clubs so far has never been prosecuted. I believe that raid cemented the public’s resolve to defend Trump and he has a real shot at winning him the next prisidential elections. Trump will cement his power as King Trump if Trumrights sweep the fall elections.
