Donald Trump’s 2022 Endorsement Record Grows to 210-17 after Wyoming, Alaska PrimariesNick Gilbertson 18 Aug 2022
Five candidates backed by former President Donald J. Trump won their primary races in Wyoming and Alaska Tuesday night, growing his overall endorsement record to 210-17 in 2022.
Perhaps the biggest win for Trump in this year’s election cycle came Tuesday night when Harriet Hageman thumped incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in Wyoming’s Congressional race. Cheney, an impeachment Republican in the House of Representatives and the vice chair of the January 6 Select Committee, did not come close to her challenger in the contest for the At-Large Congressional District.
With 95 percent reported as of Thursday, Hageman, backed by Trump, secured 113,025 votes (66.3 percent) to Cheney’s 49,316 (28.2 percent), according to the Associated Press election results compiled by the New York Times. Around 30 minutes after the polls closed in Wyoming, Decision Desk HQ and Dave Wasserman of the Cook Report both called the race for Hageman. Following her loss, Cheney seemed to compare herself to the first Republican President Abraham Lincoln, as Breitbart News reported:
The great original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all. Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He saved our union and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.
