Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, a leader in the Republican resistance to former President Donald Trump, is fighting to save her seat in the U.S. House on Tuesday as voters weigh in on the direction of the GOP.

, an opportunity to survive the former president’s wrath, even after she voted to convict him in his second impeachment trial.

Just two of those 10 House members have won their GOP primaries this year. The rest have lost or declined to seek reelection. Cheney would be just the third to return to Congress if she defies expectations on Tuesday.She is facing 18 opponents — the most prominent of which is Republican Kelly Tshibaka, who has been endorsed by Trump — in her push to preserve a seat she has held for nearly 20 years.

“I’ve said all along that ranked-choice voting was designed to benefit Democrats and RINOs, specifically Sen. Lisa Murkowski along with other political dynasty family members in Alaska,” Palin wrote in a recent statement calling for the law’s repeal. “What’s remarkable is that in the face of almost certain defeat she’s never once wavered,” said Sarah Longwell, executive director of the Republican Accountability Project. “We’ve been watching a national American figure be forged. It’s funny how small the election feels — the Wyoming election — because she feels bigger than it now.”

She was voted out with a 30+ pt margin. This is democracy taking place before our eyes. Her family and their war money have finally been booted from office - something all Americans can appreciate.

Americans have spoken very loudly, no more Rinos and or Progressives ! America 🇺🇸 Fist is the winning party !✅

She only lost by 30 points

I see all the Democrats have decided to like her.

Gone

lauferlaw His will not be kind to the people of WY who don’t vote for Cheney the truth about trump will come out and they will have lost an effective representative

Vote her OUT!!! Trump 2024!!!

100 years from now they'll make a musical about this and Liz's character will be the crowd favorite. I don't share her political views but I can't deny her integrity.

Goodbye disgraceful RINO Liz Cheney. As useless as a corrupt politician comes. A disgrace to America.

Putrid human, can't wait to see her get the boot today.

See ya Liz.....

It's weird to see democrats in love with a Cheney. Do they even know who the Cheneys are or is this just a tribalistic thing?

I hope the Chaney family never is able to show its face and politics including as a lobbyist ever again. No trump fan ,but that family is a lot more evil ..even though Dick Chaney was the 1st one to support gay marriage. 20 years of war and the Patriot act is unforgivable

Any Democrat who’s hoping she keeps her seat should really ask themselves, “what do we actually win if she stays in in office”?

' the Republican resistance ' WTF

Vote her out!

Cheney is not Republican. She was kicked out for not representing her constituents.

RETWEET IF YOU SUPPORT RepLizCheney TO DEFEAT TRUMP /MAGA GOP THROUGH THE 2024 ELECTION. Liz will be like ObiWan / to Trump / MAGAts DarthVader forever. washingtonpost TODAYshow

I really do not care if she wins in Wyoming. This country is better off because she has a MoralCompass! A quality sorely lacking in GOP . Thank you, RepLizCheney

Go, Liz. Wishing you the best.

BYE, LIZ

She represents an old GOP that is gone with the wind. Trump took the GOP down a sewer of cult worship and extreme domestic terrorism....January 6th. She's better off out of it.

Bye Felicia! 😆

By Liz get the fuck out you are fired

Donald and Liz: Neither would have made it without daddy. Just more useless and unskilled pieces of protoplasm.

I've come to the conclusion the Democrat's&including Rhino Liz, obscene war on all things Trump is because Trump&his team uncovered their decades of corruption,immorality,deceit&graft including their profitable interventionist wars that have killed so many people. DamnMarxists

I feel terrible that I feel sad for her, but she’s a real patriot and good luck to her. She will lose today for sure but she can be really proud of herself.

Braces for a loss? No, butt hurt going out as disliked nearly as much as Hiliary. Quite the legacy Liz. Se ya.

leader?😂

Go Liz! Go. Just go! Go away.

Goodbye and good riddance, lying creature.

Best of luck Liz, ur the best.

This is why more Republicans won’t speak up. They’re afraid of losing their seats to Trump’s cult.

She should brace for a loss on the whole J6 Committee failure as well.

She could get even with Republicans who trashed her by running in 2024 as an independent presidential candidate. Like Stein pulled more votes from Hillary than from Trump, she would pull more votes from the Repub candidate than from the Democrat candidate. EC elects the Democrat
