Liz Cheney is now courting the same voters who toppled a statue of her vice president father 15 years ago.

In a desperate bid to save her seat, Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney is now courting the same voters who once dragged a statue of her father through the streets of Jackson before toppling it 15 years ago.

"Without an aggressive campaign strategy to win over Democrats, it might seem like a tough sell," Politico reported from Wyoming on Monday. "…But some Democratic voters in Jackson are embracing her. They appreciate Cheney's work in Congress prosecuting Trump and they're ready to switch parties to vote for her."

The crusade to allow Democrats to hijack the statewide Republican primary in favor of a Cheney signals a sharp turn in the family's reputation from when Liz Cheney's vice president father represented Wyoming's conservative voters in the House for 10 years. After enjoying decades of political popularity in the state and cultivating a family legacy, the Cheney dynasty appears poised to end as the incumbent at-large congresswoman turns to Wyoming's liberal voters in the northwest to send her back to Washington for a fourth term.

According to a snapshot of the latest polling in the pivotal primary revealed by Axios's Jonathan Swan, less than 2 in 5 GOP Wyoming voters reported a favorable opinion of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Nearly half, 48 percent, viewed Dick Cheney unfavorably.

Other recent polling has shown Liz Cheney herself underwater among constituents who voted for President Donald Trump in the widest margin of any state in the nation a year and a half ago.

Out of three surveys conducted in the aftermath of the 2020 election, Cheney failed to garner more than 29 percent support among likely primary voters.

Meanwhile, Cheney has remained largely absent from the state she represents as Trump-endorsed primary challenger Harriet Hageman builds grassroots support and earns endorsements from House leadership, which is rare for incumbent challengers. Last month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced that Hageman had the full encouragement of the GOP's top brass on her crusade to oust the current congresswoman, who has undermined Democratic norms by weaponizing the lower chamber against political dissidents.

Pretty sure that is odd state with no runoff in the primary. Plurality wins spot in the general. If her opponents split the opposition vote cross over democrats could wreck the election

Which is what they're counting on and likely paying candidate to stay in the race.

If Cheney wins the primary, then everyone should vote for the Democrat and be rid of her. They can rid themselves of the Democrat in 2 years.

This. The Republicans know that they have the House after November by a very good margin. Getting rid of this RINO for an actual Democrat will not hurt things.

Sure sign of a fraud to move that far on the political spectrum.

Nah, just have a conservative run 3rd Party and split the vote in November and beat her then.

If that is possible that would work as well, but most Democrats would probably vote for Cheney, just to stick it to conservatives and Trump.
