Saturday in Rock Springs there was a fundraiser for Republicans in Wyoming. Active conservatives traveled from around the state to support the Republican agenda and their candidates. But Representative Liz Cheney, who has represented Wyoming since 2017, was not invited.
In the 2020 presidential election, Trump won 70% of the vote in the state. That is the highest percentage of any state.
She spent Saturday night with her new base, a group of reporters and media executives at the annual Wyoming Press Association gathering.
In DC the Republican National Committee voted to censure Liz Cheney the day before the Rock Springs gala. The state party followed suit and added a resolution to remove her from future contact with the Wyoming local Republicans.
Her vote to impeach Trump last January was a turning point. And in July 2021 Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed Cheney to the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. In September she was made vice-chair of that committee.
Private polling in January revealed that 31% of Wyoming Republican primary voters still had a favorable view of Cheney, compared to 60% who saw her unfavorably.
