Rep. Harriet Hageman, a Republican, is running for Senate in Wyoming next year, seeking to replace retiring GOP Sen. Cynthia Lummis, who announced last week that she would not run for re-election.
Trump quickly gave Hageman his "my Complete and Total Endorsement, writing in a Truth Social post hours after she launched her campaign that he knows Hageman well and she "is a TOTAL WINNER! Harriet has ALWAYS delivered for Wyoming, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate."
Hageman, 63, was elected to be the state’s lone representative in Congress in 2022 after ousting then-Rep. Liz Cheney in a primary. Hageman had Trump's endorsement against Cheney, a vocal critic of the president, and the congresswoman name-checked the president in her three-minute launch video on Tuesday.
“I stood with President Trump to deliver the largest tax cut in American history, helping working families keep more of their own money,” Hageman said, later adding, “We worked together to secure the border and fund efforts to remove and deport those in the country illegally.”
“We must keep up this fight, and that’s why today I’m announcing my campaign for United States Senate,” Hageman said. “This fight is about making sure the next century sees the advancements of the last while protecting our culture and our way of life. We must dedicate ourselves to ensuring that the next 100 years is the next great American century.”

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) is retiring. Open seat.
Good for Harriet! Don’t think they could have done much better.
Is Liz Cheney going to try to run for Congress again?
63 is a bit old to begin a Senate career but, hopefully, her house experience will count toward to seniority. Hope to Wyoming has someone good lined up to run for her house seat. We don’t need another Cheney clone slithering in.
She’s great. Plus, anyone who can humiliate Liz Cheney with a 30 point+ margin in the primary is ok in my book
Agreed.
Come on. She is good for 3 or 4 terms.
Given Wyoming is the least populated state in the union being a representative you have the exact same electorate as a senator would. That is the entire state. No gerrymandering here. :)
Well...not according to some experts: https://freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=Behar%20gerrymandering
The Green Pages is only listing three candidates including Lummis (crossed out), all Republicans. She has $1 million to spend.
Harriet is not there yet. I suspect Reid and Jimmy are disappointed she has jumped in.
Republican Senator Cynthia Marie Lummis - apparently not a candidate

I’ve only seen her in hearings a few times and have been impressed so far.
She is awesome. Doesn’t take shit from anyone.
Go Harriet. She is an outstanding Congressman. True conservative.
Bet they switch to run for the House seat now.
She’s been a pleasant surprise. I wish her well.
**Come on. She is good for 3 or 4 terms.**
2 terms for change sake. She’ll end it at age 77-women live that long.
Me I’d prefer more lookers but they tend to go off on tangents. Think Bobert/Mace.
The problem is that many go into their late 80’s.
Hahaha. Good one.
Liz Cheney?
The (alleged) GOPer who asked Wyoming DEMS to register as REPs so as to vote for her in the primary?
One would not be surprised if she never set claws in the great Wyoming state again.
ABC Anybody but Cheney
