Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, former President Donald Trump’s most vocal Republican critic in Congress, was overwhelmingly defeated in the state’s GOP House primary on Tuesday by Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman.
There’s little doubt that Cheney will continue her campaign to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from returning to the White House, but there’s also significant debate about how effective those efforts can be and whether Cheney as a candidate could garner enough support to meaningfully affect Trump’s political fortunes.
“If she launched an independent bid against Trump, everyone would know she was doing so just to ensure that the Democratic nominee won the election. And Republicans have a word to describe a person whose primary objective is to ensure Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom or some other like-minded figure heads the executive branch for the next four years. They call people like that ‘Democrats.’” — Jim Geraghty,“This war against Trump is the one that Liz is vowing to win.
“That sliver of the electorate that Cheney will win in Wyoming. … In a presidential election decided at the margins, that might be enough in some swing states to keep Trump out of the White House. Not enough for Cheney to win, but enough to drag him down.” — David Siders,“Cheney’s laser focus on Trump and ability to command media attention means she could be a significant factor in 2024. She won’t be the nominee, but she’ll be a factor, especially if she can qualify for the primary debates.
