Rep. Liz Cheney has risen quickly in the House, and at times staked out more conservative territory than Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. | Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
“Cynthia Lummis is going to be the next U.S. senator from Wyoming. If [Cheney] runs, it may be the most significant Republican primary in the country,” Paul said in an interview. “She’ll have to decide whether she wants to match conservative credentials with somebody who actually lives in Wyoming and has been there her whole life.”
Though she's made no final decision and isn't expected to do so for a couple months, Republicans believe she's likely to run for the Senate, according to interviews with a dozen members of Congress and aides. For now, Cheney says only that she’s “going to do what’s best for Wyoming.” And even some of her closest allies don’t know where she will land.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is eager for Cheney to run, according to three sources familiar with his preference in the race. McConnell sees Cheney as a dynamic addition to his conference and a likely ally for his agenda. Lummis was often at odds with House leadership and served in the hard-line House Freedom Caucus.Sign up here for POLITICO HuddleBy signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

If Cheney instead decides to challenge Lummis for the Senate, the contest would elevate the larger split in the Republican Party over foreign policy and the still simmering debate over whether Trump’s worldview is closer to Paul’s and Lummis’ or Cheney’s. Some GOP lawmakers and aides interpreted the Cheney-Paul Twitter spat as an audition for an audience of one: Trump. If Cheney does jump into the race, there would undoubtedly be a battle for Trump’s endorsement. His supporters in Congress are unsure if Trump would weigh in.
How sad. Maybe they will both just turn into lard
I love con on con violence! Dump them both in a pit.
morgfair Let them eat each other.
They both suck big time. Horrible people.
Who is more obnoxious? Toss up.
They both need to go
Dog eat dog
They’re both sickening!
Let them fight it out amongst themselves...the party will be finished after the 2020 elections
Sorry to inform both Rand Paul and Liz Cheney the emperor has no clothes.
The trump mantle? Who can be most corrupt and ignorant?
Regan vs Goneril
Who cares? Besides Randall wins because he’s cozier with the Russian overlords.
I'm on Rand Paul's side.
Let's the 2 drama Queens battle it out.
The battle between Rand Paul and Liz Cheney is more than personal beef. It’s a test for how best to claim the Trump cult
A libertarian is not going to 'claim the Trump mantle' from an authoritarian. Full stop.
I prefer Rand Paul to Liz Cheney
I hope they both lose. Everything
Let them settle it the old fashioned way . . . a duel. Give them both AR-15's and have at it!! We all win if both are gone!!
Before you can pass Trump's loyalty test you have to give him a spray tan.
Ooh...it's an asshat gladiatorial...don't care who wins...bring the popcorn though.
A fight for the next segment of the human Trump centipede.
Could be a movie called Bad blood
How Islam is So Great For Personal Development

Rand Paul is still irrelevant in the Republican party!
Love it when Republicans fight with each other!
Two horrible politicians, and even worse, they’re horrible people too.
Look, Sauron and Saruman don’t like each other.
What 'wings' of the party? There are Republicans who love Trump and Republicans who REALLY love Trump. That's about it.
Great stuff. The Lizard and Drumpf's golfing buddy at war. Of neither one of them does any good for the American people. With troops in Saudi Arabia THE DICK is busy firing up Halliburton to help Lizard.
Get your 🍿ready! Paul and Cheney meet cute!
Paul is a Libertarian. The Dem & Rep parties are forced marriages owing to blurring of political differences by our severely outdated single-seat-district, winner-take-all electoral system. Time for elections from multi-seat legislative districts by proportional representation
Hatfields and McCoys, with teeth. 😁
Excellent entertainment :)
Since Trump wants to take country back a few hundred years anyway, why not reinstall a duel? If we are really lucky they would kill each other and we could move on. Perhaps lawnmowers could be the weapon of choice?
The pettiness of elementary school children... 🙄
He is as nutty as his dad.
GO RAND!!!
I truly wish Rand Paul would run for President.
Two very nasty people from two very nasty families.
JRCarrollNews Fine.
They’re both tools. I see no difference.

Get the popcorn ready!
And their shit families.
