Trump has endorsed Harriet Hageman to defeat his critic, Rep. Liz Cheney. Hageman is a longtime lawyer in Wyoming and a former Never Trumper who once supported Cheney. The closely watched Republican primary is on August 16.
46th Vice President of the United States
It's a strategy that many Republican candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump have taken in this year's heated midterms: elevate false claims about the 2020 election in an effort to win and maintain his loyalty and beat the primary competition. Her first foray into politics came four years ago when she ran for governor of Wyoming. She finished that Republican primary in third place, but the race raised her profile in the state. In 2020, she represented the state as its Republican National Committeewoman, resigning last fall shortly before she set her sights on Congress.
"I know Wyoming. I love Wyoming. I am Wyoming," Hageman told a crowd of Trump supporters at a May 28 campaign rally in Casper, the state's second-largest city."I am going to reclaim Wyoming's lone congressional seat from that Virginian who currently holds it." Love runs a trucking company in Gillette, a city in northeastern Wyoming known for its fossil fuel production. He's met with Hageman several times, even before she became a congressional candidate, and told Insider that he may vote for her in the upcoming primary.
Hageman's critics have dismissed her attempts to discredit Cheney, claiming she's only pursued that path because she cannot dispute the incumbent's solidly conservative record. Cheney has proven her ties to the state and has been an effective legislator over her five years in office,Cheney voted with Trump 93% of the time during his four years in office.
