While Governor Mark Gordon is generally considered the favorite in his race for re-election, Rep. Liz Cheney is facing a tough re-election fight in her own party.
''Mike was an absolute giant in our state and his sudden loss just months after retiring from the U.S. Senate is difficult for all of us to accept," Cheney said in a statement.
Despite that vote, Cheney sounded defiant in her opposition to former President Donald Trump and his claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.
Trump has claimed widespread election fraud, but a series of court challenges on his behalf have been unsuccessful in overturning the election results.
