How big will Liz Cheney lose tonight in her primary? The over/under is probably between 25 and 30 points. But, Liz Cheney has gotten the “coveted” endorsements of Al Franken, Mittens Romney, George W. Bush and Karl Rove. Bush and Rove have even sent Cheney nearly $1 million in campaign contributions from Texas. I don’t think people of Texas particularly care for Liz Cheney, unless they are Democrat communists. Still, it’s funny to see Liz Cheney having to rely on big out of state donors rather than the people of Wyoming.
Let’s also not forget that Cheney’s husband works for the same law firm representing Hunter Biden. There’s no conflict of interest there I’m sure.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) raised nearly $1 million from Texas for her primary re-election battle, including donations from former President George W. Bush and Karl Rove.
The total exceeded donations for Cheney from all states except California and surpassed campaign funds raised from her own state, according to The Houston Chronicle.
Cheney’s list of Lone Star State donors included maximum gifts of $2,900 each from Bush and Rove. In total, the congresswoman raised approximately $950,000 from Texans as part of her $15 million in total funds brought in to defend against her Trump-backed competitor.
Despite the massive out-of-state support Cheney has received, the anti-Trump incumbent faces a likely loss against attorney Harriet Hageman.
Hageman, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has raised a reported $4.3 million in comparison, according to Federal Election Commission records. In Wyoming, Hageman has raised $940,000 compared to Cheney’s $386,000.
In addition to large-scale outside funding, Cheney has garnered the support of two House Democrats who have asked Wyoming members of their party to temporarily switch parties to vote for Cheney during the August 16 primary.
