โ Wyoming lawmakers rejected a measure that would have required candidates to win a majority of votes in primary elections to avoid runoffs โ a change endorsed by Donald Trump Jr. in his campaign to undermine Republican U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.
Trump Jr. called for Cheneyโs defeat after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump over the storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
But for the most part, Wyomingโs Republican elected officials have continued to support her.
AdTwo Republican state legislators โ- Sen. Anthony Bouchard, of Cheyenne, and Rep. Chuck Gray, of Casper โ already have announced they are running against Cheney, Wyomingโs lone congresswoman.
