Former Wyoming congresswoman turned anti-Trump crusader Liz Cheney inched closer to announcing a run for president on Thursday, refusing to rule out a third-party bid in 2024 and decrying top GOP candidates — and her political party more broadly — for what she described as promoting revisionist history in their characterization of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

After months of speculation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially announced a campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination for president on Wednesday, but his supporters were forced to endure yet one more delay as his scheduled 6 p.m. Eastern launch was repeatedly disrupted.

Though DeSantis planned to announce his campaign in an audio-only Twitter “Space” with the site’s owner, Elon Musk, the event was plagued by glitches: users were kicked off the app several times as audio cut in and out, such that the 600,000-plus audience that had assembled to hear his speech had dwindled to fewer than 200,000 listeners by the time the candidate was finally able to be heard a little after 6:20pm.

The DeSantis campaign team — and Musk, by extension — sought to explain away the issues as evidence for the enthusiasm behind the candidate: “It seems we broke the internet with so much excitement,” the official “Team DeSantis” Twitter account wrote.

Former Wyoming Congresswoman Rep. Liz Cheney launched her first television ad of the 2024 cycle on Tuesday, highlighting the “risk” that former President Donald Trump poses as he seeks another term in office.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) can add a new title to her resume: professor.

The University of Virginia’s Center for Politics announced Wednesday that Cheney accepted an appointment to serve as the center’s professor of practice, a new role in the institution effective immediately.

A group of state lawmakers and Wyoming’s new secretary of state are seeking to ban a tactic former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney’s campaign employed last year to promote absentee voting.

Though his hold on the Republican party may have started to wane, former President Donald Trump’s love affair with Wyoming lives on — and in a new interview, he signaled his intent to continue remaking state politics in his image.

WASHINGTON — It was a split-screen moment for the ages: on the two-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, a divided government responded with very different commemorations.

At the White House, President Joe Biden marked the occasion with a bipartisan ceremony where he bestowed the Presidential Citizens Medal to 14 individuals, among them law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol during the attack and election officials who rebuffed efforts by former President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election.

WASHINGTON — The U.S House on Friday voted to approve a roughly $1.7 trillion federal spending bill for fiscal year 2023, narrowly averting a government shutdown as a once-in-a-generation storm plunged much of the country into sub-zero temperatures. The package, seen as a compromise measure, boosts domestic and defense spending while also incorporating policies ranging from breastfeeding protections for workers to fishing industry regulations.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection released on Thursday their final report analyzing the key evidence amassed from their 18 months-long investigation into the attack, just days after members of Congress for the first time in history formally suggested prosecution of a former president on federal criminal charges.

WASHINGTON — Nearly two years after the U.S. Capitol was ransacked by a violent mob, lawmakers on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection formally recommended charges against the man they hold most responsible for it: former President Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted 61-36 to pass legislation enshrining federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, a rare bipartisan showing in which Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) joined 11 other Republicans and all Democrats in support of the bill. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), voted against the legislation, citing his longstanding opposition to same-sex unions.

WASHINGTON — For former President Donald Trump, the results of Wyoming’s midterm elections stand as a rare triumph during an otherwise dismal showing.

With just three days until the Nov. 8 general election, Wyoming’s incumbent Congresswoman and the woman poised to replace her are back on the campaign trail for candidates outside the state, each emerging as a key voice in the intra-party battle over the future of the GOP.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol formally issued a subpoena to former President Donald Trump on Friday, setting up a likely legal showdown over Trump’s cooperation as he teases another presidential bid in 2024. In a TV appearance Sunday, committee Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she will “do whatever it takes” to ensure Trump “will not be the President of the United States again.”

Candidates seeking to represent Wyoming in the U.S. House of Representatives next year met at Central Wyoming College in Riverton on Thursday night for a general election debate, but the focus was squarely on the one candidate not present: Harriet Hageman.

WASHINGTON — During the ninth and what is expected to be the final public hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, panel members concluded their presentation of evidence with a unanimous vote: to issue a subpoena for documents and sworn testimony from former President Donald Trump.

In August, Wyoming Republicans again nominated Gov. Mark Gordon for governor, with the incumbent receiving nearly two-thirds of the vote in his campaign against GOP challengers Rex Rammell and Brent Bien.

WASHINGTON — Appearing just over two miles from one another before audiences convened at rival conservative think tanks on Monday evening, Wyoming’s current representative to the U.S. House and the woman set to replace her both delivered scathing indictments of the state of the American constitutional order.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.—Harriet Hageman, backed by former President Donald Trump in a bruising election with national implications, easily defeated incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney in the race for the GOP nomination to represent Wyoming’s sole seat in the U.S. House.

As voters across Wyoming head to the polls Tuesday for the state’s primary election, the media scrutiny that the nation’s least-populated state has amassed is, in a word, unprecedented.
