"Our work is far from over," she said Tuesday evening. Hinting at a presidential bid of her own, she later added, "I have said since Jan. 6 that I will do whatever it takes to ensureUS Representative Liz Cheney arrives to speak at an election night event during the Wyoming primary election at Mead Ranch in Jackson, Wyoming on August 16, 2022.

Not a fan of Liz! Expected loss and most are fine with it.

She wasn’t supposed to get more than 5% of ALL Republican votes in a DEEP red state….she got 30%!! People across the US are sick of the Trump lies, crimes, and chaos. If Trump loses more than 7% of his 2020 base- he statically cannot win in 2024. He’s lost 4% already.

Not just defeated, she was absolutely pummeled!! And that was with a large number of democrats voting for her. In her concession speech she compared herself to Abraham Lincoln. Talk about a narcissist.

Or...***Liz Cheney, fiercest warmonger left in politics gets defeated in primary***

Cheney braces for loss as Trump tested in Wyoming and AlaskaWyoming 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. 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 Go Liz! Go. Just go! Go away.
