A good sign for former President Donald Trump-endorsed Harriet Hagemen, as she was the overwhelming favorite in a recent Wyoming Republican State Central Committee straw poll; Hagemen won 59 votes compared to Rep. Liz Cheney’s 6.
Not a great sign for the incumbent. According to the Casper Star-Tribune, applause broke out when the results were read. Yikes.
​​“I think it’s a good sign. It’s not an endorsement, but these are the county activists” Hageman told the Casper Star-Tribune.​
“The only elections that matter are in August and November,” Jeremy Adler, a spokesperson for Cheney told the newspaper after the vote.
“This smells like an endorsement to me,​”​ Natrona County Committeeman Joe McGinley​ said. “Whether that is the true intention of the state … or not, that’s what it appears to be.”
H​ageman is staying level-headed.
“There will be lots of polls over the next eight months, and they will all show different things,” Hageman says​​.​
