The Associated Press projects that Trump-backed Harriet Hageman has captured the GOP nomination for Wyoming's at-large congressional seat, defeating Republican Rep. Liz Cheney
Republican congressional candidate Harriet Hageman campaigns at the Goshen County Fair parade, in Torrington, Wyoming on August 4, 2022in late May to hold a large rally to boost Hageman. Trump, who remains the most popular and powerful politician in the GOP, captured nearly 70% of the vote in Wyoming in the 2020 presidential election.
Hageman, a Wyoming native and a 2018 gubernatorial candidate, was a former Cheney supporter and adviser who donated to the three-term congresswoman’s past campaigns. She's also a conservative lawyer who’s fought for water, land and property rights.
. The committee has made headlines and grabbed plenty of national attention this summer as it has held televised hearings.Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, four decided against seeking another term in Congress. Of the six who ran for re-election, four were defeated in GOP primaries, with two others advancing to November thanks in part to running in non-partisan primaries where the top two finishers advanced regardless of party affiliation.
Cheney — in comments made in recent weeks — seemed to be at peace that her primary defeat was a price she had to pay in order to achieve success in her bigger crusade to make sure Trump never returns to the White House.
