Liz Cheney Crushed By Trump-Endorsed Harriet Hageman In GOP Straw Poll
Jon Dougherty January 26, 2022
A GOP candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump is crushing incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney in Wyoming, according to a recently-conducted straw poll.
The bad news for Cheney comes as the 2022 midterm primary season comes into view.
Harriet Hageman, a Wyoming attorney Trump threw his support behind in September, easily won the straw poll which was conducted by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee, garnering 59 votes, according to the Casper Star-Tribune on Saturday.
Cheney finished an extremely distant second with just a half-dozen votes.
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney has been a thorn in Trump’s side for more than a year, having criticized him while in office and then blaming him for inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building. She further inflamed tensions with Trump when she voted with 10 other House Republicans to impeach him and then agree to co-chair the committee assembled by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to investigate the origins of the riot.
