Due to her participation in the House Select Committee on January 6, the Republican member has offended Donald Trump and may soon lose her position.
According to a recent Casper Star-Tribune survey, fellow Republican Harriet Hageman is poised to unseat incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney. On August 16, the two women will compete in the GOP primary for the House seat representing Wyoming, with former President Donald Trump casting a significant pall over the contest.
Hageman has a sizable advantage according to the first impartial in-state poll conducted by the Casper Star-Tribune. Cheney is stuck at 30%, while the rival has a 52% share of likely voters.
Liz Cheney is going to lose, according to managing director of Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy Brad Coker. That is an inevitable conclusion.
Cheney is receiving blowback for criticizing Trump.
Cheney’s determination to expose the lies propagated by the former President has cost her dearly in terms of GOP support, despite her kinship with the party’s leadership. Cheney, who earlier supported Trump’s impeachment, is a significant contributor to the House select committee looking into the attack on the Capitol on January 6.
Trump has responded by exerting enormous political pressure on Hageman, a lawyer for natural resources who called Cheney “despicable.” Cheney supported Trump on 92 percent of votes when he was in office, but it appears that her failure to support the big lie will lose her a seat in Congress.
The Wyoming Republican Party voted in November of last year to no longer recognize Cheney as a party member. By a vote of 31 to 29 the resolution was approved by the GOP Wyoming Central Committee. In order to further her own personal goals, it was alleged that Cheney had “not only caused huge disruption, diversion, and division inside the House Republican Conference, but has also proudly joined forces with and swore allegiance to Democrat Speaker of the House Pelosi.”
January 6th was a fundamental assault on our democracy.
Investigating that attack and what led to it and looking at what we need to do legislatively to make sure it never happens again is our fundamental responsibility. pic.twitter.com/uvZM1LZIV4

Cheney is probably going to stay in politics.
Only if she can get enough Democrats and independents to participate in the Republican primary, which is permitted by state law, will Cheney be able to keep her position. However, given how strongly the state is in favor of Trump, a turnaround would be surprising. President Trump won 70 percent of the presidential vote in Wyoming in 2020, demonstrating the continued power of his influence.
Although she has little chance of keeping her current position, she will probably continue to play a significant role in Republican politics. Her father, Dick Cheney, was George W. Bush’s vice president, and the Cheney family name continues to be appealing to Democrats.
She has been adamant that Trump’s hold over the GOP is temporary and that his influence will diminish, even during the most recent hearings on January 6.
She reprimanded GOP colleagues during the first hearing, telling them: “There will be a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your disgrace will stay.”
She needs to go
Hell yes shes got to go and yesterday was to long to wait !
Just like Ronald Reagan said these people do not stand up and fight their cowards they rather live in their knees and then change and now the new assault rifle band on all handguns all current news weapons what next we’re going to be disarmed by the government are the people the United States so gullible that they’re going to let the government disarmed them after the second amendment gives you a god-given right to defend yourself doesn’t it say that in the Constitution and please pass this on that we’re supposed to defend ourselves and the Constitution against the tyrannical government isn’t this it isn’t this the tyrannical government that everybody was fearing was coming isn’t this what Ronald Reagan was warning us about have several other presidents are we going to let them destroy our constitution the way of the American Life and turn it into a circus socialist clown please pass this on to all Americans who believe in our constitution
Liz Cheney is a disgusting traitor. She hates Trump because he is honest and he is for Americans unlike her loser butt. Trump will expose her and the dem crooks why wouldn’t they hate him.
I liked TRUMP because he was NOT a POLITICIAN. Didn’t mix words, unabashed in News Conference and Interviews, placed AMERICA’ns first in Country and World. The RINOS didn’t LIKE THAT AT ALL, also DEMORATS. They ALL had game going within DEMselves, TRUMP was their NEMESIS. Even with all their obstinate behavior, TRUMP never RELENTED and SPOKE his MIND in defense of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. TRUMP one of the BEST that ever WAS. PERIOD……..
How many weapons were seized at this insurrection? 1 and how many Democrat were attacked 2 and three it is our indupitable responsibility and right to prosecute this traitor Cheney it would be my pleasure to prosecute her myself it would be a slam dunk
cheney has got to go, and four (4) weeks ago, is not soon enough!
Let this card-carrying, licensed, communist RINO, go suck-up to the castro-loving communists under pelosi.
She is a traitor collaborating with the kangoroo court of the democrats. She must go.
