Liz Cheney Faces First Primary Challenger As GOP Backlash Continues Over Impeachment Vote

Rep Liz Cheney (R-WY) drew her first primary challenger as she continues to face blowback over her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump.

Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard filed on Wednesday to run against Cheney for her seat as the state’s at-large representative in the House. The threat to Cheney’s seat comes as reportedly dozens of House Republicans are calling for her removal from leadership of the House Republican caucus.
