she is winning with the early vote in all of these counties as we break down the counties and we get them in. this looks like an overwhelming win, as big perhaps as those early polls had it, one pole headed 30 points, another pole headed 20 points coming into today. as these numbers are coming in, shaping up, we could be seeing an official call very soon for hagerman in this race. it s interesting to see, if you look at the races we are following tonight, you have wyoming, obviously, and you have alaska. this is you know, you look back at the races we ve been following of the ten house republicans who voted to impeach donald trump, president donald trump, you have the retirees. you have the congressmen and women that lost their primaries, and a couple that won, but liz cheney looks like she is heading to a loss and perhaps a big loss
welcome back, everyone. as we mentioned earlier in the hour, primary elections today, in alaska and wyoming, will test the continuing influence of the former president trump on the republican party and wyoming is drawing the most attention january 6th committee vice chair, liz cheney, is struggling to keep her seat in the house of representatives against challenger harriet hedman. recent polls show hagerman, who is endorsed by trump, leading by a wide margin. cheney is the most prominent critic of trump in the republican party. she voted with democrats to impeach the former president, which tanked her poll numbers in the conservative state. state-run media in china is reporting seven officials in taiwan have been sanctioned for supporting independence for the self-governing island. a statement says, pro- independence activities became
against liz cheney? no, it was for her. reporter: cheney s fixation with trump and her leadership on the january 6th committee has also turned off a ought of republicans. a lot of choices she s made lately are not ones wyoming is behind. reporter: and hagerman has sought to capitalize on that anger with trump loyalists. reporter: when we caught up with her after a speech to the rock springs chamber of commerce she declined to answer our questions. before an aide stepped in. just last week she embraced the former president s baseless election denial rhetoric at a campaign stop in casper. absolutely the election was rigged. it was rigged to make sure that president trump could not get re-elected. reporter: what hageman doesn t tell her audiences she once opposed trump. it s a sign of her own
cheney, this is a statewide seat, she was already up eight points. and the ensuing period of time, once they burn on the message that donald trump endorsed and recorded hagerman, his numbers grew by 20 points. i assume that those poll numbers were true. it does not seem to be a lot of appetite by a lot of republicans, especially in wyoming, to give a lot of credence to the january 6th hearings or anything that cheney is saying. she s viewed as a disloyal republican, it s a republican primary, and cheney might try to rely on independence the democrats to cross over. this is a state that voted about 70% or so for donald trump and the general election. i don t see list cheney keeping her office or her seat. and potentially mark to put, oh daniel moody, thank you for being here, my political power final this morning. coming, up and the once
