Wyoming Senator-Elect Harriet Hageman, who won 65% of the vote in the state, has expressed a view that those who disagree with former President Donald Trump are a threat to the United States. In a post on Facebook, Hageman stated, “We are about to engage in a battle for the future of this nation, and as we all recognize, the looming fight with the left is about much more than just policy differences.” She added, “It’s about the very survival of this country as it has been and as we know it.”
Hageman, who ran as Trump’s handpicked challenger against then-U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, will represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate. She also claimed, “Are we a capitalist nation, or will we slide precipitously into communism?” She stated, “The left hates our founding principles of freedom, just as they hate our strength and prosperity.”
State Senate President Bo Biteman, R-Ranchester, offered a different perspective, writing on X, “Turns out starting a war nobody wanted, sky-high inflation, trading America First for Israel First, covering up the Epstein scandal and breaking every single campaign promise doesn’t win you elections!” Biteman added, “I saw this coming a mile away.”
Secretary of State Chuck Gray, who received Trump’s endorsement, won 25% of the vote in the Republican primary for Hagem, and is now headed to the U.S. Capitol. The Wyoming Republican Party issued a statement, saying, “Wyoming is sending its best to help President Trump fight back against the liberals who are hell-bent on destroying this country.”
