LARAMIE, Wyo. (Reuters) â When lifelong Wyoming Republican Tage Benson and Democrat Chamois Andersen met for the first time at the Owl in the Attic antiques store in Laramie this past weekend, they quickly put their political differences aside.
Their home stateâs embattled Republican congresswoman, Liz Cheney, needed to be supported, they agreed, for standing up to former President Donald Trump and contesting his false stolen-election claims.
âThis is where Democrats and Republicans can come together,â said Anderson, 51, a wildlife advocate who often disagrees with Cheney on policy.
âShe is a hero,â said Benson, 67, who was working the storeâs register. He told Andersen his Democratic friends were talking about registering as Republicans to vote for Cheney in the partyâs primary election next year. âIâm going to talk everyone into that,â he said.
