A House candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump handily defeated Rep. Liz Cheney in a Republican Party straw poll in Wyoming, according to a report.
Harriet Hageman, whom Trump endorsed in September to challenge Cheney in the Republican primary, won the straw poll conducted by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee with 59 votes, the Casper Star-Tribune reported on Saturday.
Cheney came in a distant second with six votes.
The incumbent drew Trump’s ire when she voted — along with nine other Republicans — to impeach the former president on Jan. 13 over his role in the Jan. 6. Capitol riot.
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, she and Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois are the only Republicans on the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6.
