Trump endorsement of Cheney challengers clears field, create's two-person race, report

President Trump's endorsing his candidate to unseat Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney has swiftly cleaned the field of other hopefuls and effectively made the 2020 primary for the congressional seat a one-on-one contest.

Trump on Thursday endorsed Harriet Hageman, a former land-use attorney whose 2018 run for Wyoming governor caught the attention of state conservatives. She also has the support of former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, according to Politico.

Cheney has been perhaps the most vocal Trump critic among congressional Republicans, with her voting to impeach him after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot essentially a last-straw scenario.

"Bring it," Cheney, the state’s only congressional member, said after the endorsement.
