Representative Liz Cheney, a former Republican from Wyoming, backed Vice President Harris for president last week. Cheney quit the GOP to campaign for the Democratic ticket in Wisconsin, which is a key battleground state.
Fox News Digital went to Casper, Wyoming, over the weekend to talk to people there about the upcoming election and Cheney’s choice to back Harris instead of the Republican candidates for president. Most voters in the Cowboy State were very against Cheney’s support, calling her a “traitor” and a “turncoat.”
We asked Clark Johnson what he thought about Cheney campaigning with Harris in Wisconsin last week. He said, “I’m not impressed with that at all.”
“I believe it is silly.” Another person from Wyoming, Gunner Berg, said this about the campaign event: “I think she’s a traitor to the country.”
Because Cheney is a strong opponent of Trump, she is at odds with the Republican Party and the people who voted for her in 2016 and 2020 when she was in office. Cheney is the daughter of Dick Cheney, who was Vice President. Wyoming is likely to vote red again in this election.
Most of the people in Casper who answered with Fox Digital said they didn’t like Cheney and thought her political views would make it hard for her to get another job in Wyoming.
Dillon Sigman said, “I’m definitely not a fan, and it definitely turned some tables there.” He also said that he doesn’t think Cheney could win his seat in Wyoming again.
“I think Liz Cheney completely turned against the government. She was born in Wyoming, lived in Connecticut, and then went back to Wyoming wearing cowboy blue jeans, a cowboy rodeo belt buckle, and sat down. “Liz has become a total Democrat and seems to be moving toward DEI inclusion and all the other broken things going on in her government,” said a man from Wyoming who called himself “Ralph.”
“I agree with her choice to run for office as whoever she wants.” But I don’t think she speaks for the people of Wyoming. “Most of the people I know don’t support Kamala Harris or that campaign,” Alicia Kellch told Fox Digital.
Kellch says that many people who backed Cheney at first felt “sold out once they got her in office and found out what her real goals were.” Additionally, she said that Cheney probably wouldn’t be re-elected in Wyoming if she went this route.
