U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) had been defeated in the House GOP Primary by Harriet Hageman, according to elections expert Dave Wasserman.
“I’ve seen enough: Harriet Hageman (R) defeats Rep. Liz Cheney (R) in the #WYAL GOP primary,” Wasserman declared in a tweet.
Wasserman added, ”The idea that Cheney could be a serious factor in a 2024 GOP primary or would siphon votes from Trump as an independent remains as preposterous as the idea this #WYAL primary would be competitive.”
