Liz Cheney Gets Bad News — Trump-Backed Challenger Dominates Straw Poll

A straw poll was taken in Wyoming of GOP party activists

Out of the 74 total votes Harriet Hageman, the Trump-backed candidate got 59 votes.

Liz Cheney got only 6.

From The Star Tribune:

Harriet Hageman, the Donald Trump-endorsed candidate seeking to unseat Rep. Liz Cheney, won big Saturday in a straw poll of House candidates held by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee.

The secret ballot of party activists awarded Hageman 59 votes, Cheney six, state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, R-Cheyenne, two and Denton Knapp one. The vote comes eight months before the GOP primary.

“I think it’s a good sign. It’s not an endorsement, but these are the county activists” Hageman told the Star-Tribune after the vote.

The state party itself is not statutorily allowed to endorse a candidate in the primary.

The state central committee consists of three representatives from each county and members of the state party, for a total of 74 votes. Only 71, including three of Hageman’s family members, voted Saturday. The bearing of the vote on the outcome of the August primary is uncertain: There are 196,179 registered Republican voters in Wyoming as of January.

This is more evidence that Liz Cheney’s political career is coming to a halt.

She turned her back on her own voters and is now siding with Nancy Pelosi.
