Wyoming primary results 2022: Liz Cheney loses, paying the price ... (Vox)

Cheney's Wyoming loss was predictable. Her bigger fight, against Trumpism, is now fully underway.

Mike Sullivan, a Democrat, recalled him as “sort of a weak link” and didn’t think there was “any comparison” to Cheney, for whom he changed his party registration to vote on Tuesday. She was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president, and became a total apostate when she became the vice chair of Cheney had also raised the ire of local Republicans in 2013 when she launched an abortive primary campaign against incumbent Sen. Cheney will have five more months to pursue her work on the January 6 committee without a campaign hanging over her head. Wyoming has seen a long-running internal conflict between a more traditional GOP establishment and a more ardently conservative new guard within the party. Whether via a super PAC or a kamikaze presidential campaign or something else, Cheney has more options than the typical anti-Trump Republican who leaves Congress for a cable news gig. While Harrison did have a notable political genealogy (his grandfather and great-great-grandfather both served as president), he had little else in common with Liz Cheney. But it captured national attention as a referendum on Trump’s standing and pull within the GOP. Cheney repeatedly referenced the Civil War and drew comparisons to the current political climate in the United States. Instead, Cheney had sought to characterize her race as part of an existential struggle for American democracy that pitted her against Trump. That was a path I could not and would not take.” It would’ve required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic.
