Liz Cheney's campaign focused, in part, on promoting 'peaceful transitions of power,' as Harriet Hageman's team accused Cheney of making the race about 'her war on President Trump.'
Hageman's win would surely see former President Donald Trump gloat amid his continued campaign to remove his critics from the Republican Party persists.
A Cheney ally said,"This race is the first battle in a much larger and longer war that Liz is going to win because the future of the country depends on it,” Axios reported. As the New York Times reported, surveys have shown that even though Cheney was able to fundraise far beyond Hageman and had spent much more on her campaign than her opponent, she stagnated well behind in the race.
Hageman's campaign adviser Tim Murtaugh said they felt good about the election,"which is the culmination of nearly a year and almost 40,000 miles traveled within Wyoming," Axios reported.
