But Senator Lisa Murkowski, another Republican who has defied the former president, cleared a hurdle in Alaska. She was set to face Trump-endorsed challenger Kelly Tshibaka in the Nov. 8 congressional election, as the two candidates advanced in that state's nonpartisan primary.
With 99% of expected ballots counted in Wyoming, Hageman led the Republican field with 66.3% of the vote, followed by Cheney with 28.9%, according to Edison Research, an election monitoring firm.With 72% of expected ballots tallied, Murkowski narrowly led with 42.7% of the vote, followed by Tshibaka at 41.4% and Democrat Patricia Chesbro at 6.2%, according to Edison. The nonpartisan primary format in that state weeds out all but the top four vote-getters.
Both Wyoming and Alaska are reliably Republican, making it unlikely that the results will influence whether President Joe Biden's Democrats lose their razor-thin majorities in Congress. Republicans are expected to retake the House and also have a chance of winning control of the Senate.The ousting of Cheney is the latest sign of Trump's enduring sway over the Republican Party.
Republican leaders are expected to dissolve the Jan. 6 investigation if they win control of the House in November. The representatives in the new Congress take their seats in January.
Sad those people in Wyoming are definitely getting screwed
Cheney found out!
Wyoming just failed an intelligence test.

Trump foe Liz Cheney defeated in Wyoming GOP primaryWyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, Donald Trump's fiercest Republican adversary in Congress, was defeated in a GOP primary Tuesday, falling to a rival backed by the former president in a contest that reinforced his grip on the party's base. Republicans rejected the most Conservative member of Congress because she put Country over Trump.....so sad what has become of the once proud GOP. Maybe Cheney can become a Democrat. She will go to Virginia and write a book. It’s a good moment for America.
