 Trump-nominated candidate wins, incumbent Cheney loses US Republican primary


 On the 16th, in Wyoming, the western United States, there was a vote for the federal House of Representatives primary to narrow down Republican candidates for the midterm elections in November. Cheney lost by a wide margin to Harriet Hagueman, a lawyer favored by Trump. The Associated Press reported. The magnitude of Trump's influence has become apparent once again, and it is likely that the midterm elections and the next presidential election in 2024 will center on Mr. Trump.


 Cheney strongly pursued Trump's responsibility for the January 2021 attack on Congress by Trump supporters, who continued to accuse him of "fraud" in the 2020 presidential election. voted for the impeachment motion against Trump. He also participated in a Democratic-led House Select Committee investigating the incident, contrary to Republican House leadership policy.


 During the campaign, he criticized Mr. Haigman for being a manipulator of Mr. Trump, saying, "Other candidates say the 2020 presidential election was 'stolen.' It's a thing," he complained. His father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, also gave his full support, saying he was "proud that his daughter stood up for the truth."


 Cheney has raised about $15 million in political funding since January 2021, with support from traditional Republican mainstreams who have distanced themselves from Trump. In addition, some state Democrats, who are critical of Mr. Trump, changed their party registration to Republican and voted for Mr. Cheney.

Mr. Trump held political rallies in the state in May 2022 to help boost support for Mr. Haigmann.
