The vice-chair of the House January 6 panel faced retribution from state voters for going against the former president
Conceding defeat in a speech in Jackson, she said: “Two years ago, I won this primary with 73% of the vote. I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear, but it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election.
“Our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept honorably the outcome of elections. And tonight, Harriet Hageman has received the most votes in this primary. She won. I called her to concede the race. This primary election is over. But now the real work begins.” In Jackson, Cheney, wearing a beige jacket, stood on a podium in an open field surrounded by a red vintage Chevrolet truck, four US national flags and a dozen hay bales, against the dramatic backdrop of the Teton mountain range. She was watched by family members including her parents Dick and Lynne.
Cheney criticized the rightwing backlash against the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate that has led to threats of violence against federal law enforcement.Cheney has faced death threats and been forced to abandon traditional campaign stops and public rallies in favor of small-scale private events.
