Donald Trump is set to back Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman as she prepares a primary challenge against GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, according to three people with knowledge of his plans, marking the most important political endorsement yet in Trump’s post-presidency.

In a final step before officially announcing her campaign later this week, Hageman resigned Tuesday as one of Wyoming’s members of the Republican National Committee.

Aside from her Trump connection, Hageman’s campaign credentials include her status as a fourth-generation Wyomingite who grew up on a ranch, later becoming a conservative activist and top land-use attorney in a state where land is a political issue. In 2018, her tough-talking campaign for governor made her a conservative favorite, though she finished in third place in a crowded primary. Still, that campaign made Hageman one of Cheney’s only likely challengers who had previously run statewide in Wyoming.
At that time and in the years before, Hageman was an ally of Cheney’s. She financially supported Cheney’s previous campaigns, was on the congresswoman’s leadership team and — as of Tuesday night — still had a photo of the two of them together on Hageman’s website. The issue of her friendship with Cheney came up when Trump interviewed Hageman during his endorsement screening process.

Wyoming Freepers can chime in.
Is this one taking male hormones?
That would make 8 declared candidates for the Republican nomination, and only a plurality needed to win. Cheney must be loving this.
She seems like the best choice after reading the article.
Trump insiders and advisers say they received verbal commitments from many of the candidates to drop out if he endorsed someone else...
Resigned from Republican National Committee!? This is a joke, right? Trump goes to Wyoming and can’t break the habit! Another GD Uniparty DC swampster. I have never heard of this person before, have never heard of their positions on anything. It doesn’t matter, RNC burns conservatives EVERY time. Prove me wrong, name one person coming from the RNC who didn’t turn out to be the crappiest sort of RINO or worse.
Was Paul Ryan that bad?
We'll see, won't we?
Cheney should be defeated, and will be defeated.
Then what?
“Was Paul Ryan that bad?”
Ha! And Reince Priebus. And Michael Steele. And Bob Dole. And George HW Bush.
I forgot Haley Barbour and Ed Gillespie.
Trump's endorsement is going to take the air out of the other 7.
"Hageman isn’t just banking on Trump’s endorsement in the coming primary against Cheney: Top Trump staffers and allies are in her corner, including some who are in talks to occupy key roles on her campaign or with a super PAC prepared to back her. Some former Trump campaign hands and advisers met with Hageman in March at the urging of local conservatives."
Mike Carey beat 10 others in OH-15's special primary earlier this year after Trump's endorsement.
Hageman has supposedly already done the outreach to Foster Friess' [RIP] people -- those 2 split the right-side primary vote in 2018 or otherwise one of them would be goobenor instead of Mark Gordon.
No, the only thing Cheney is loving is planning her exit, and her immediate creation of a Stinkin Lincoln Projectile PAC to grift hundreds of millions off Democrats.
Yep, sounds like the MAGA folks are taking this very seriously and clearing the field, smart.

Underestimate the weakness and stupidity of GOP voters at your own peril.
Agree. A lot of red flags here. RNC, former Cheney ally, etc. Although, anybody is better than Quisling like Cheney. Even a Democrat so the bar is really low here.
Fox news commentator would be my guess.

He had no role inciting a riot.
That rally should have never been held - at least in that location - as it was the very last opportunity the Left / media had to create a situation to pain Trump supporters / Republicans as the terrorists they had been falsely stereotyping them as - and they seized the opportunity.
MSNBC analyst job for her
Heck, we still have Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham!
