Trump is planning to endorse Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman to unseat Representative Liz Cheney. While left-leaning articles highlight that Trump’s endorsement of Hageman will serve as a test of the former president’s ability to purge his critics from the party, right-leaning articles highlight that the coming endorsement is a test of how much influence Trump holds amongst Republicans after losing to Biden.

 A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that Trump’s endorsement of Hageman will serve as a test of the former president’s ability to purge his critics from the party. In a statement, Trump called Cheney a “warmonger and a disloyal Republican.” 

The Associated Press published a centrist article reporting that Trump’s move marks his most significant endorsement to date as he works to maintain his status as GOP kingmaker. Trump has already endorsed a number of Republicans challenging GOP incumbents including Kelly Tshibaka, who is running against Senator Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.

 A right-leaning article by The Daily Caller highlights that the coming endorsement is a test of how much influence Trump holds amongst Republicans after losing to Biden. Trump has repeatedly urged other Wyoming candidates to drop out before next year’s primary in a bid to stop them from splitting the anti-Cheney vote.
