Wyoming Republicans have nominated Harriet Hageman, the staunch conservative who famously ousted Liz Cheney from Congress, to run for the U.S. Senate, aiming to fill the seat vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis in one of America’s most reliably Republican states. Hageman, who secured a crucial endorsement from former President Donald Trump for her 2022 House victory, now seeks a promotion to the upper chamber, leveraging her national profile built on defeating Cheney, a prominent critic of Trump and a key figure on the January 6th Committee. The race, set against the backdrop of a significant political turnover in Wyoming with open contests for governor, Senate, and House, presents Hageman with a strong advantage in the deeply red state, where Republicans hold all statewide offices and the Senate seat is rated as solidly Republican by the Cook Political Report.
