Cheney challenger wins big in Wyoming GOP activists' straw poll

Harriet Hageman, the GOP primary candidate endorsed by former President Trump to unseat Rep. Liz Cheney , won a straw poll held by Wyoming Republican State Central Committee on Saturday, per theHageman won 59 votes, while Cheney only amassed six, according to the Star Tribune. The vote comes eight months ahead of the GOP contest. Although it has no bearing on the primary, it shows Cheney is still facing backlash from within her own party.

Only 71 of 74 members of the committee voted in the poll, three of which are Hageman’s family members, the Star-Tribune noted.I think it’s a good sign," Hageman said of the vote, per the Star Tribune. "It’s not an endorsement, but these are the county activists." "There will be lots of polls over the next eight months, and they will all show different things," Hageman said.“The only elections that matter are in August and November,” said Cheney spokesperson Jeremy Adler.

Editor’s note: This post was updated to clarify that 71 members of the committee voted in the poll, and to include comment from a spokesperson for Cheney.

Liz Cheney is pretty far right as you can go, except when it comes to stomping on democracy 🤔

And this is an insiders vote - hope the people are smarter..

Cheney is the closest thing I’ve seen to a real Republican in several years…

Wyoming likes law breakers? Dislikes law enforcement?

What are GQP Activists Extreme right wing nuts?

They don't deserve Congresswomen Cheney. I'm a Democrat and we will disagree and and agree. she believes in TRUTH.

It is Wyoming after all. Sigh.

This is really too bad!!! Wyoming, do your homework, do what is right and find your morals!!!

I wouldn't trust the pole. Would anyone?

were they mail in ballots?

Liz Cheney still has her integrity. Harriet Hageman does not.

RepLizCheney - declare yourself a Democrat today!

If my math serves me correctly that’s a total of 65 votes. Wow just so many votes.

Why is this a surprise? Are there any good people in Wyoming anymore?

Liz Cheney on the 1/6 committee, is one way, but approx. 90+% of the time she voted with Trump’s policies.

Activists? Try to do better.. even a little

It’s so weird to see Democrats defending a Cheney; after all the horrible things they said about them for a decade or longer.

GOP ACTIVISTS? Proud boys or oath keepers?

This is what the GOP is now. A party of extremists.

This is meaningless Voters don’t participate in straw polls The people taking money from the RNC conduct straw polls — the organization thats paying the former president’s legal fees

'GOP activists' ?.......

Cheney will win if she wants to. Just be a write in candidate.

quit the cult.

Big Weed is on the brink of scoring big political wins. So where are they? - POLITICONearly one year into this Congress, not one piece of cannabis legislation has been sent to the president's desk. There is growing fear among advocates that the window to act is closing. Joe Biden doesn't give a f**k. He just figured it was his turn to be president. He didn't have any vision for his term in office other than this ridiculous fantasy that he'd 'restore bipartisanship' even though the entire Republican party is on a bullet train to Naziland. Nothing getting done. Sad! Delete your account
