Liz Cheney speaks at a primary Election Day gathering in Jackson, Wyoming, on Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2022.
WYOMING Republicans have ousted Congresswoman Liz Cheney as the party’s candidate for November’s election.
The vote, though an internal party primary, is likely to gift her Congress seat to Donald Trump supporter Harriet Hageman and underlines the Republican Party’s continued domination by Mr Trump.
Supporters of the former president, who claims without evidence that the 2020 election he lost was “stolen,” have targeted the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach him after the mob incursion into the Capitol building in Washington in January 2021, which aimed to keep him in power.
