Republican Liz Cheney, who fought former US President Donald Trump, will suffer a major defeat in Wyoming, where her Trump-backed rival is expected to win in a landslide.
Harriet Hegemon is about 20 points ahead of Liz Cheney in the race to get her party’s seat in the House of Representatives, according to polls. A recent study by the University of Wyoming found that this difference could be as high as 30 points.
Cheney, 56, has been a staunch opponent of Trump since joining a parliamentary committee investigating his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack.
This committee is co-chaired by the daughter of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who believes the 45th U.S. president “breached his duty” in an attack launched by his supporters in an attempt to prevent his Democratic opponent’s victory from being confirmed. , Joe Biden, in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump, for his part, is stepping up his criticism of Cheney, accusing her of “infidelity and incitement to war” and calling her “a loser who dares to give lessons.” And he pushed hard to support her rival, the 59-year-old Hegemon.
