Rep. Liz Cheney is trailing her Republican challenger in Wyoming's upcoming GOP primary by nearly 30 points, according to a new University of Wyoming ...

An overwhelming number, 83%, of Ms. Cheney’s Wyoming supporters said they have followed the committee’s hearings very closely or somewhat closely, according to the survey. Of the respondents who say they will vote for Ms. Cheney, 66% say it is an expression of support for her. Of them, 98% support Ms. Cheney. Ms. Cheney was one of the 10 Republicans in the House who voted to impeach Mr. Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. In May, Mr. Trump sought to drive a wedge between Ms. Cheney and Wyoming voters calling her a Democratic “lapdog” in a campaign-stall rally in the state to bolster support for Ms. Hageman. Ms. Cheney has continued to dig into Mr. Trump’s involvement in the Capitol riot, pulling no punches against the former president in a series of public hearings by the committee over the summer. Roughly half the state’s population of registered Democrats likely to vote in the primary season say they will vote in the Republican primary. Of those who say they will vote for another candidate, just 29% say it is support of that person versus 44% who say their vote is in opposition to Ms. Cheney. However, just 8% of the likely voters in the GOP primary identify as Democrats and 21% identify as independents. The biggest drag on the incumbent congresswoman is that she is polling at about 15% among registered Republicans in the deep-red state, which hasn’t elected a Democrat to the U.S. Congress in more than 40 years and hasn’t backed one for president for longer than that. Among Wyoming residents likely to vote in the state’s Republican primary on Tuesday, 57% support Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman versus just 28% who back Ms. Cheney, with 10% undecided and the rest backing several other candidates. “The race for the Republican nomination appears to be a referendum on Cheney, as it usually is when an incumbent seeks reelection,” says Jim King, a professor of political science at the University of Wyoming.

All signs suggest she aims to turn a congressional defeat into a presidential campaign. Liz Cheney speaks.

As for Dad, can you believe he went viral on social media with a video that had nothing to do with Iraq or “enhanced interrogations”? More irony: He believed that the effort to hold presidents more accountable after Watergate had diluted the authority of the presidency, and spent his whole career trying to reverse that. Now my career is devoted to holding a lawless president accountable and educating people on the difference between democracy and dictatorship. “Let me say this to my friends in Wyoming and elsewhere. His whole movement is about harnessing contempt, and giving his backers the thrill of spitting back at politicians and journalists who think Trump supporters are “deplorables.” Why do you think I left so much of the money gushing to me from Dems and Never Trumpers unspent in this primary — it’s the war chest that will keep me relevant on the national stage. “Let me be the first to admit: I’ve sometimes been a fierce partisan in my day, sometimes to excess. More specifically, Cheney needs to signal that the loss of her Wyoming House seat in a GOP primary is in no way the end of her career, but the opening of a new phase in which she intends to be one of the most important people in American political life. I always wanted to barf when Hillary Clinton did her whole “let me say this to those girls and young women watching out there” thing. “First of all, to all my friends in Wyoming and around the country, let me assure you I made peace with this moment long ago. For anyone wondering about my own future, let me say this: I will do everything in my power to make sure Donald Trump is never again near the Oval Office.” While she’s hoping for a miracle, she’s dropped enough clues lately about her state of mind that it is not hard to compose a suitable concession speech on her behalf. A few days from now, she will deliver the most consequential speech of her career to date.
