Wyoming State Lawmaker Stands Up, Issues Direct Political Challenge to Liz Cheney
From WWW.WESTERNJOURNAL.COM
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming might be popular with members of Washington, D. C.’s elite class after she’s attacked former President Donald Trump in recent months, but it doesn’t look like that popularity matters where it counts: with her own voters.
In the weeks since Cheney voted with Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to impeach former President Donald Trump, her popularity has waned and she’s now attracted at least two serious primary challengers. One of those challengers, Wyoming state Rep Chuck Gray, recently told Just The News that it’s time for his state’s voters to “Get rid of Liz Cheney” over her betrayal of voters and of the former president.

The Casper Star-Tribune reported that Trump pollster John McLaughlin found Cheney down by a huge deficit to Bouchard, 54-21, in an early poll for 2022. When you put all of this together, it’s apparent Cheney is in big trouble with her voters after the state’s GOP already censure her.
Trump is a standalone issue in Wyoming, and Cheney is on the wrong side of that issue — at least according to journalist Bill Sniffin with the Cowboy State Daily. Sniffin opined on Thursday that the state’s lone House representative is in big trouble after taking on the former president and losing big.
“If you had asked me three weeks ago if U. S. Rep. Liz Cheney was beatable in her quest for reelection in 2022, I would have said ‘no way,’” wrote Sniffin. “Today, the landsca... (Read more)
