The Wyoming Republican Party will no longer recognize U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP in its second formal rebuke for her criticism of former President Donald Trump, NBC News reported.
The 31-29 vote in Buffalo, Wyoming, by the state party central committee that took place Nov. 13 followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming's 23 counties to no longer recognize Cheney as a Republican.
Cheney—the state's lone U.S. representative—is now facing at least four Republican opponents in the 2022 primary, including Cheyenne attorney Harriet Hageman, whom Trump has endorsed.
Recently, Cheney—the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney—said she was "wrong" to oppose same-sex marriage when her objection to it caused a public split with her family, including her lesbian sister, Mary, and her father. |
