The race marked the last primary challenge to a small group of House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump last year and are mostly set to leave Congress after ...

That history has made her a strange ally to Democrats who admire her anti-Trump mission and her work on the Jan.

Teton was the only county in Wyoming to support President Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. Cheney is the fourth House Republican to lose a primary after voting to impeach Trump last year on charges that he incited a riot. A Washington Post analysis found that in battleground states, candidates who deny the legitimacy of the 2020 vote have won GOP nominations this year for nearly two-thirds of state and federal offices with power over elections. 6 attack, and the conduct of Trump and his aides on that day and in the lead-up to it. Tuesday night, after calling Hageman to concede, Cheney told a crowd that “now, the real work begins” and promised that she “will do whatever it takes to ensure Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office.” Her Tuesday-night event had the feel of a presidential announcement speech in many ways — right down to its precise timing, with the sun setting behind Cheney on the Teton mountains. In Wyoming, Cheney said she plans to focus on the remainder of her congressional term — serving constituents in Wyoming and fulfilling her role as vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. “I believe deeply in the principles and the ideals on which my party was founded. Liz Cheney — the once-high-ranking Republican who defied her party to wage a lonely crusade against former president Donald Trump — hinted Wednesday about a White House bid after losing her Wyoming primary in a landslide. The result in Wyoming’s primary reflected Trump’s enduring influence on Republican primary voters, who in many races this year have rallied behind those embracing his grievances and false claims, even as his preferred candidates have not always won.

The immediate political future of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, one of former President Donald Trump's most powerful critics in the GOP, is at stake on Tuesday ...

Murkowski, Republican Kelly Tshibaka and Democrat Patricia Chesbro will advance to the November election, CNN projects, against a fourth candidate yet to be determined. When she was defeated in a 2010 Republican primary during the tea party wave, Murkowski launched a write-in campaign and defeated GOP nominee Joe Miller in the fall. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican who voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial, was also facing new competition this year fueled by her lack of fealty to the former President. Former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, whose ascent marked a precursor to the party's Trump era, returned to the ballot on Tuesday. The two survivors to date, in California and Washington, benefited from their states' nonpartisan primary system. "America will never be the same." His enduring popularity there, coupled with Cheney's role as vice chair of the January 6 committee, made the three-term congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney a top target of Trump allies. "Our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept, honorably, the outcome of elections. Overnight, the Cheney campaign filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission creating a leadership PAC to be called "The Great Task." "No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. The name of the PAC is a historic nod to Lincoln who spoke at Gettysburg of the "great task" facing the country. "This primary election is over," Cheney said in her speech.

Liz Cheney's sustained criticism of former President Trump made her one of his top political targets. She has pledged her chief goal is to make sure he ...

Last July, Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman drove seven hours from her home in Cheyenne to Jackson to meet with a major donor who wanted her to wage a ...

The gap would only widen in the months to come: In the Hageman campaign’s May survey, her lead was 26 points; in June, as the Jan. The Hageman and Trump forces also coordinated for the former president to publicly declare his support the same day she announced her bid — a show of force designed to nudge other candidates out of the race. Jim Banks, a staunch Trump ally who, during an October meeting with Hageman at the Capitol Hill Club, expressed anger at Cheney for criticizing him on the House floor earlier that day, according to a person familiar with the discussion. McCarthy ended up raising $250,000 for Hageman and headlined a March fundraiser for the candidate that was co-hosted by more than 100 House Republicans — an astonishing display of hostility toward Cheney, a fellow member. The head start offered the incumbent an opportunity to disqualify Hageman in the eyes of voters just as she was just getting off the ground. The Cheney campaign also said that physical threats against the congresswoman impeded her ability to hold public campaign events, forcing her to organize more private gatherings in the state instead. During the sit-down, Trump asked her about her past support for Cheney, a question her advisers had prepped her to answer beforehand. Bo Biteman, a prospective contender who had the backing of David McIntosh, a Trump ally and the president of the Club for Growth. As the summer went on, the idea of a Hageman candidacy began to take hold at Bedminster. Preparations for a Hageman bid accelerated: Trainer and another Trump adviser, 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien, soon met with Hageman at her Cheyenne law office to start mapping out a campaign. But Meadows was dialing up the pitch, making the case for Hageman to jump in and putting her on the phone with Ohio Rep. “While those men take pride in the fact that they supported an election denier who preys on the patriotism of ordinary Americans, Liz is going to be leading a broad coalition that defends freedom, upholds the Constitution, and fights back against efforts to destroy our republic.”

She won her 2020 primary with 73 percent of the vote, she was already the No. 3 ranking House GOP leader and she was well on her way to becoming the first ...

She surrendered that leadership post in the spring of 2021, when it became clear that she could not continue to embarrass Trump’s sycophant allies, particularly House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and not face blowback. Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump a week after the Capitol riot, four decided to retire rather than face likely defeat in primaries. And so I’m going to continue to work and ensure that we’re doing that in a way that is nonpartisan.” Wolfensberger’s closest approximation to the way Cheney sacrificed her congressional career for higher principle was John Anderson in 1980. She would nod to local issues, but she focused on Trump. Valadao (R-Calif.) and Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), and both tried hard to avoid talking about Trump in their campaigns. Cheney used her defiant concession speech Tuesday night, after losing badly in the GOP primary to Trump’s handpicked candidate, to promise a sustained campaign against the ex-president and his allies. Whoever wins will be forgotten quickly by history, remembered only as someone who mouthed the right pro-Trump platitudes to appease a House GOP that forbids divergence from the ex-president. Instead, after some early positive advertisements that discussed those matters, Cheney focused her final weeks almost singularly on prosecuting the case against Trump and those local Republicans who tout his fallacies about the 2020 election. “We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. “It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. Cheney did little to tamp that down in Tuesday night’s speech.

Ms. Cheney said she had called her opponent to concede her loss in a free and fair election, and suggested that her job now, and that of patriotic Americans ...

And there, as the men of his army watched and waited, instead of turning north, back toward Washington and safety, Grant turned his horse south toward Richmond and the heart of Lee’s army. That’s true, but only if we make it bend” — and even more so a few minutes later, when she turned her attention to the Civil War. She suggested that her job now, and that of patriotic Americans, was to stand up for the Constitution. — “It has been said that the long arc of history bends toward justice and freedom. That was evident in her paraphrase of a quote popularized by the Rev. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic.”

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Hageman after Liz Cheney broke with fellow Republicans to impeach Trump and criticize his handling of the Jan.

And on Wednesday morning, she told NBC's "Today" show that she is "thinking about" running for president and will make a decision in "the coming months." Cheney was by far the most prominent of the 10 House Republicans to vote in January 2021 for Trump's impeachment. And I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty," she said. Weeks after that speech, Cheney was elusive when asked about the possibility of running for president in 2024. This is a fight for all of us, together." Several people said they felt Cheney devoted far more time on national issues -- to the detriment of her focusing on energy and natural resource priorities of critical importance to the state. "It took a lot of courage to stand against the Republican Party and Donald Trump." Wyoming Republicans' reservations about Cheney were first evident in 2016, when she won her House seat after winning just 39% of the vote in the GOP primary against a fractured field. But she was right on the policies," he said. Cheney attempted to assemble a coalition of Democrats, independents and moderate and anti-Trump Republicans -- many of them ideological opponents of the neoconservative congresswoman before the last 19 months -- to save her seat. But the conservative faction has seized control of the state Republican Party and many of its local organizations. Cheney's ouster caps a summer in which Trump has purged the GOP of many of his critics, while elevating candidates -- including Hageman -- who have parroted his lies about widespread election fraud.

Overnight, Cheney formed a new leadership political action committee called "The Great Task," an aide confirmed to NBC.

She reaffirmed Wednesday morning that she's considering a presidential run. But whether she can find a lane without helping her nemesis remains unclear.

Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) earlier this year — saw her fierce resistance to the former president as counterproductive, according to the recent book “This Will Not Pass.” According to three people close to the group’s discussions, Cheney’s name is in the mix in terms of candidates it would consider putting part of its $50 million cache towards, with some suggesting her as a potential running-mate for a nominee like Sen. But a House primary vote for Cheney is as far as he’s willing to go given the rest of her conservative positions, particularly on abortion. Throughout the summer, she kept her focus on the Jan. Voting Tuesday morning in the bluest part of the state, Horn called her decision to go against Trump “courageous.” [called it a “referendum” ](https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/08-16-2022/mccarthys-confidence/)on her work alongside Democrats investigating Trump on the Jan. The bipartisan group No Labels, which is closely aligned with the House’s Problem Solvers Caucus, is looking to get involved in the 2024 presidential race with significant funds that it’s already raised to help centrist candidates. Vogelheim predicted Cheney would stick to the GOP presidential primary if she runs in 2024, recalling her “emphatic” vow that she wouldn’t be changing parties. She quickly announced Wednesday morning in a POLITICO exclusive that she’ll be forming a new group “to mobilize a unified effort to oppose any Donald Trump campaign for president,” as her spokespeson put it. Cheney allies say she won’t get involved in the presidential race if she deems that it would help Trump rather than hurt him. “I think Liz is running the race she wants to run.” Abraham Lincoln, the “great and original champion of our party” as she put it, “ultimately prevailed.

The idea that Cheney would have virtually any shot at winning a national Republican primary after such a loss in her home state is, on its face, laughable. And ...

So it’s easy — and very likely correct — to dismiss out of hand the possibility that Cheney might win. The drawback, of course, is that it could signal a death blow for Cheney’s political career, if it still has any life in it. Put simply, there’s arguably nobody more studied in making the case against Trump than Cheney, and she might decide that’s her role to play in 2024 — to air all of this very publicly on the biggest political stage possible. [she went in the opposite direction](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/17/liz-cheney-anti-trump-movement/?isMobile=1&itid=lk_inline_manual_30). That poll shows her huddled in the low single digits with a number of also-rans — including former governors Nikki Haley and Chris Christie — but it also put her in fourth place by virtue of how concentrated the field is. It’s unlikely it would ever truly make her a contender, but sometimes candidates run to try to shape the race in other ways. There’s also the matter of what Cheney knows about what could lie ahead. And judging from recent years, being in the low single digits could be good enough to put Cheney on the debate stage. And a 2024 bid presents an opportunity, at the very least, to do that. Even in the best of circumstances for Cheney — a timeline in which she is smartly playing the long game and banking on Trump’s ultimate downfall — the 2024 campaign is very near. As Cheney noted, the first campaigns are likely to be launched within a few months. And Cheney is shrewd enough to know that.

Cheney's Wyoming loss was predictable. Her bigger fight, against Trumpism, is now fully underway.

Mike Sullivan, a Democrat, recalled him as “sort of a weak link” and didn’t think there was “any comparison” to Cheney, for whom he changed his party registration to vote on Tuesday. She was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president, and became a total apostate when she became the vice chair of Cheney had also raised the ire of local Republicans in 2013 when she launched an abortive primary campaign against incumbent Sen. Cheney will have five more months to pursue her work on the January 6 committee without a campaign hanging over her head. Wyoming has seen a long-running internal conflict between a more traditional GOP establishment and a more ardently conservative new guard within the party. Whether via a super PAC or a kamikaze presidential campaign or something else, Cheney has more options than the typical anti-Trump Republican who leaves Congress for a cable news gig. While Harrison did have a notable political genealogy (his grandfather and great-great-grandfather both served as president), he had little else in common with Liz Cheney. But it captured national attention as a referendum on Trump’s standing and pull within the GOP. Cheney repeatedly referenced the Civil War and drew comparisons to the current political climate in the United States. Instead, Cheney had sought to characterize her race as part of an existential struggle for American democracy that pitted her against Trump. That was a path I could not and would not take.” It would’ve required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic.

Speaking to Today, Ms Cheney said it was "dangerous" to elect officials who questioned the result of that election and described it as a "red line" that she would continue to resist. Ms Hageman - who ran to be Wyoming governor in 2018 - was handpicked by the former president and has said she believes the election Mr Trump ultimately lost to President Joe Biden was "rigged". A leading Republican critic of Donald Trump says the party has "embraced his cult of personality" after she was ousted in a primary election.

Cheney didn't specify how, or where, she intends to continue her struggle against former President Donald Trump, after Harriet Hageman, the candidate Trump ...

Cheney’s GOP supporters are even more divided over a possible general-election strategy; some sympathizers believe she would hurt Trump most by running as an independent third-party presidential candidate in the general election, and others worry that such a bid would help Trump by splitting voters resistant to him. What she indicated yesterday is that when she talks about a long battle, she is looking not only past the Wyoming House GOP primary but even past the struggle for the next GOP presidential nomination. The best-case scenario for the Trump critics if Cheney runs is that her battering-ram attacks weaken him to the point that someone else can capture the nomination. To save the party, in other words, Cheney might first have to be willing to destroy it. Many of them view Trump’s strongest competitor in early polls, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, as little improvement over Trump in his commitment to a pluralistic democracy; Cheney Some of those voters have since soured on President Joe Biden and the Democrats, but Cheney could spend months reminding them why they rejected Trump in the first place. Kristol predicted that the party might try to exclude her by requiring any candidate participating in a RNC-sanctioned debate to commit to supporting the party’s eventual nominee in the general election—something Cheney’s determination to stop Trump would not allow her to do. Constitution,” Ayres said, that larger group might respond to “a very practical utilitarian case” that Trump has too much baggage to win a general election. Yet many of Trump’s remaining Republican critics believe that a Cheney candidacy in the 2024 GOP presidential primaries could help prevent him from capturing the next nomination—or stop him from winning the general election if he does. With Cheney’s defeat yesterday, four of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the January 6 attack on the Capitol have now been ousted in primaries, and four others have retired; only two have survived to face voters in November. In public polls, as many as one-fourth of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents reject Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen, or criticize his efforts to overturn the result and his role in the January 6 insurrection. Even so, it would be difficult for any media organization that sponsors an RNC debate to agree to keep her off the stage.

The result perhaps wasn't too surprising in a state that gave Donald Trump 70 percent of the vote in the 2020 election — his best state in the country — but the ...

That margin appears to be the only one larger than Cheney’s on Tuesday, and it required a runoff. But the runoff wound up being a rout, with Inglis losing by more than 41 points — 70.7 percent to 29.3 percent. Inglis was somewhat competitive in the primary with challenger Trey Gowdy, trailing by 12 points in a crowded field. But it required a two-candidate runoff before it got anywhere near as bad as Cheney’s loss. She was defeated by more than 2-1 by Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, short-circuiting a once-promising political career and serving notice that, however much or little direct control the former president exercises over the party, running afoul of him remains perilous. Like these examples, most of the largest margins, historically, have come amid unusual circumstances: dramatic redistricting, party switches, scandals or unusual primary processes.

Liz Cheney's loss to the Trump-backed Harriet Hageman is a poetic end to a career defined by hard-line conservative politics.

To the Never Trumpers, Cheney is an understandably attractive figure; her political martyrdom is proof of the bravery they share. “You saw the symbols of Holocaust denial, for example, at the Capitol that day; you saw the Confederate flag being carried through the Rotunda, and I think we as Republicans, in particular, have a duty and an obligation to stand against that, to stand against insurrection,” she The line doubled as a useful dog whistle given birther claims that Obama was not American and was a secret Muslim.
