Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney will be looking for her next act in public life after being rejected by the Cowboy State’s Republican voters Tuesday.
And regardless of whether there’s another run for elected office, Cheney seems sure to be driven by her crusade to keep former President Donald Trump far away from the White House.
Cheney told supporters that Harriet Hageman, a former GOP candidate for governor who challenged Cheney with the endorsement of Trump, had won the primary. Hageman was ahead of Cheney by more than 25 percentage points when The Associated Press called the race at 10:12 p.m. Tuesday with an estimated 22 percent of the vote counted.
