Trump Surges Towards 2024 As Fierce Critic, Rep Cheney Loses Republican Primary

President Donald Trump made a bold statement of his 2024 return to the White House on Tuesday evening after one of his most vocal critics within the Republican Party, Rep Liz Cheney lost in the Wyoming primary to Ms Harriet Hageman.

Hageman was brought into the contest by the former president to avenge Cheney who was one of ten Republicans who voted for his impeachment.

GWG reports that eight of the ten Republicans who joined the Democrats to vote to impeach Trump have now lost the bid to return to the House on the wings of opposition raised against them by the former president.

Liz Cheney who had also been looked upon as a possible challenger to Trump in the 2024 Republican contest was quick to admit after the results came in that she could have won but for her decision not to join The Big Lie as critics have alleged of the claim by Trump and his supporters that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

GWG reports that Ms Cheney who first won the seat in 2017 lost the only House seat in the heavily conservative Wyoming. The seat had previously been occupied by her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney for years.

However, the Cheney heritage was no respite against the vengeful thrust of the Trump bandwagon that was determined to cut down the enemies of the former president within the Republican Party.

Conceding defeat on Tuesday night to her rival, Cheney was unbending, saying that she could have won but for her decision not to “go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election… That was a path I could not and would not take.”

“No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. And I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty,” Cheney said, before adding that she called Hageman to concede.

“Now the real work begins,” Cheney said in veil reference to an apparent bid for the 2023 presidential nomination.

“We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. I have said since Jan. 6, that I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office, and I mean it,” she said.

GWG reports that Cheney has at least $10 million left of her campaign funds and it is now envisaged that she could deploy it to exploratory purposes for a 2024 run which with the primary results have, however, put Trump as the frontrunner in the Republican Party.

GWG reports that Hageman who was picked by Trump to crush Rep Cheney, however, has a remarkable history with the former president. She was a fierce critic of Trump ahead of his victory in 2016 and had backed Senator Ted Cruz for the Republican nomination. She, however, turned around and became a Trump enthusiast and exponent of the claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

President Trump basking in the euphoria of the subjugation of another critic was quick to congratulate Hageman on his his social media platform, Truth Social.

“Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others,” Trump wrote. “Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion.”
