JACKSON, Wyoming (LifeSiteNews) – Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who has staked her reputation in recent years on being a staunch opponent of former President Donald Trump, lost her primary on Tuesday against Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is down almost 40 points with 99 percent of the votes counted, according to The Washington Post.
Once a fast rising star in the Republican Party, who even voted with Donald Trump 93 percent of the time, Cheney soon found herself ousted from GOP leadership in May 2021 due to her increasingly anti-Trump sentiment, including a vote to impeach the outgoing president over the violence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. She has also moved to the political left, voting in favor of same-sex “marriage.”
