>> hageman has echoed trump's widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. cheney is one of the republicans sitting on the committee investigating the january 6th attack. last night she made it clear she's not going away quietly. overnight a major political victory for former president donald trump after liz cheney lost the republican primary for wyoming sole's congressional seat. >> harriet hageman has received the most votes in this primary. she won. i called her to concede the race. >> reporter: one of the few republicans to go against the former president and perhaps the most prominent. cheney's loss was expected. trump endorsed her opponent harriet hageman and overing night wasted no time taking a victory lap. in a statement posted on social media he wrote, quote, congratulations to harriet hageman on her great and very decisive win in wyoming. liz cheney should be ashamed of herself and the way she actions and the sainct mopious words and actions towards others. now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion. in her victory speech

ms hageman supports mr trump's unfounded claims of voterfraud.ange in the us. the bill includes more than £340 billion of new spending and provides tax credits for people to install heat pumps or buy electric cars. the world's richest man, elon musk, has teased the prospect of buying manchester united, in a late night tweet.

and that is harriet hageman. the congresswoman, who is by the, way the vice chair of the january six committee is going to make the case that she is at the beginning of the battle. and she is going to drop a blunt message, a warning, a message warning about the danger to america from this misinformation and. why remove what she told cnn earlier this month from the threat from the former president? here it is. >> if defending the constitution against the threat that he poses means losing a house seat, then that's a sacrifice i'm willing to make. i do not intend to lose. but, but some things are more important than any individual office or a political campaign. >> so, that's wyoming. we are also going to take you to alaska, right now. votes are still being cast their, where the former presidents trying to take down senator lisa murkowski for the -- for the uncharitable sin of voting to convict him in his second impeachment trial. now, make known stake though, this is no ordinary primary night. what we are learning

and hageman one. >> but harriet hageman, was she not a very vocal trump critic that turned trump supporter, you know, and now here she is? >> yeah, i think in 2016 when we were doing some last minute, last-ditch efforts to prevent trump, the republican national convention, i even spoke with, or i don't remember, it was a blur, but there is a whole bunch of people scattered around the country thinking of ways of how to detour trump for the republican nomination. and in a way, it is a very good -- what's the term for this, you know, a symbol of where the party is that she is defeating liz cheney, telling the truth by and doors and trump's lies. >> david, liz cheney worked in government. and was with the gop long before she ran for office. she was by her father side when he was vp. she worked in the state department on multiple republican campaigns. she even hosted shows on fox. but is there a future for her, for her fight in the current republican party? >> oh, yes, first of all, i think there is going to be a huge market for her to write a memoir. if that were to happen. i think she's going

harriet hageman is off to an early lead.k in with john king at the magic wall. >> first results are what we expected. still a lot of counting to do. but the trump candidate pulls out for an early lead. we have a long way to count. but if you are hageman, the only results from two counties so far, 53-45. that's a big lead. this one, you get into the rural areas, 77-15. no giant cities, if you will, in wyoming. long way to go. we still need teton county where jackson is, where cheyenne is, 6%. if you're liz cheney, if you want to surprise people, you wanted to see it from the immigration. but this map so far filling in as everyone expected. >> let's check in now with jeff zeleny live at cheney headquarters in jackson, wyoming. what's the mood? >> reporter: al circumstances good evening. i don't know if you can hear the music, but there's country western music. the mood is celebratory. but there is an anti-climactic feel. talking to people here and cheney supports throughout day, they're focused on what is coming next, and that

not even close, a big win by hageman who said she was fed up with a lot of things, including fed up with cheney who in her opinion simply wasn't serving the interest of the voters back home. she was doing her own bidding in washington, and that was enough to get her canned and a huge landslide of a loss tonight, more than 66% for hageman and 28.9% for cheney. here is what the winner had to say about the loser. >> she is not focused on wyoming. she is not focusing on the issues. she is still focusing on an obsession about president trump. the citizens of wyoming and the voters of wyoming sent a loud message tonight, "we have spoken and that is not what we are interested in terms of our representative." that is why you have to replace her. >> todd: from the great state of new york had this to say about the hageman, here it is a true patriot who will restore the the wyoming voice which liz cheney had long forgotten but cannot wait for harriet to rejoin republicans in congress so we can stay laser focused on our work to save america. as for the outgoing congresswoman, she insisted tonight th

and already, it puts her in that county, nine points behind hageman.rn that we've seen elsewhere holds, in primaries all across the country, then one of the same day vote comes in, in natrona county, hageman's lead here is gonna grow. and again, this is one of the big counties. here's where i think it's gonna we're gonna see some of the smaller ones around the state. this isn't too small. but here, you're looking at, again, you've got the absentee vote from sweet water county, and hageman is already running well over 70% of the vote here. they're gonna end up with 5000, 6000, 7000 votes or so totally out of this county, and hageman is already ruling up the score against liz cheney. there's a lot of sweet water counties, just making sure they are political leanings. so, you put those two together right away, and you don't have the makings of the kind of surprised that liz cheney was hoping for. where could she look on this map? i mean, this is geographically big, we are jackson hole's. this is an anomaly in wyoming. this is a blue county. biden won it b

in this form that's harriet hageman. >> whose her campaign been like? we just heard from vaughn more about -- and we know that donald trump came to wyoming. but how is she on the campaign trail? >> her main focus is to tell voters that cheney is fore saking wyoming values. that's an interesting point to make. because on the issues, they are very similar. the big difference here is cheney is on her quest for the truth and for the peaceful transition of power. and harriet hageman is not for that. >> so bill, let's talk about the quest for the truth. this is somebody who is very politically savvy. we have seen in the way she's conducted herself on the january 6th committee. she's been around politics her whole life. it's not as if she didn't understand what the consequences are. but as somebody who knows her, who knows that she voted 93% of the time with donald trump, she has a more conservative voting record than either gosar or jim jordan. the question is does that not matter to voters? >> we'll see tonight. maybe not so much. she took on donald trump. t

both of them have put hageman ahead by more than 20 points.wn of wyoming. 19 of those states two dozen counties didn't just vote for trump against joe biden they gave trump more than 70% of the vote, this is probably the most republican pro trump state in america. that's where liz cheney is trying to make the stand, and to give you a chance of wet she's up against besides everything i just mentioned. one of the things for campaign and her supporters are hoping for here is the way that the primary is gonna work tonight, is right up until today, anyone could choose to vote in this republican primary. you go to the polls today, and you say, you know at? i'm registering as a republican. okay, get a republican primary ballot. there's been some talk of hay, maybe democrats, maybe independent voters in wyoming might come into that republican primary and give cheney a boost? look at the math she is up against here. this is as of today, with the party registration figures look like in wyoming. let's show you january 1st. because it is a thing that ther

and while hageman celebrated, cheney vowed to keep fighting. >> while it may not be easy, we can dislodge entrenched politicians who believe they've risen above the people they are supposed to represent and serve. >> i have said since january 6 that i will do whatever it takes to ensure donald trump is never again anywhere near the oval office and i mean it. >> former president trump congratulated hageman on social media and took a dig at liz cheney, saying she can now disappear into the depths of political on livion. >>> polls also closed in alaska. lisa murkowski has survived her primary. she only needed to finish in the top four to move on to the general election e and sarah palin is competing in the primary to determine who will fill the house seat for the next full term which will start in january this race is also using the ranked-choice system >>> let's turn to out west where drastic steps are taken to ration water an ongoing mega drought has forced the government to announce water cuts to two states >> reporter: in the grips of a prolonged and historic drought, the u.s. bureau of

nobody's gonna remember harriet hageman. she's just gonna be an absolute nobody in politics and liz cheney is somebody who i think, mothers are gonna look to their daughters and say you could be this person. she's really somebody who we should be proud of as americans. >> for many reasons, we are. peter, stewart just said it, that's why i took a pause. she's a cheney for goodness sakes. i want to share a bit of what her father said in a few of these ads that he showed up in. here's a sample. >> in our nation's 246 year history, there's never been an individual who's a greater threat to our republic than donald trump. he tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power. after the voters had rejected him. he's a coward. a real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. he lost the election and he lost big. i know it, he knows it and deep down i think most republicans know it. >> the cheney family. as stuart family pointed out is a deep red conservative tribe. far more conservative than donald trump ha

where watching harriet hageman's victory speech tonight.have her on in a few moments, but liz cheney actually got up and essentially compared herself to abraham lincoln. who decided it was time to -- like lincoln in a lincoln moment, had to bring the country together and put country before party. given her quick revenge campaign against donald trump. your reaction to that tonight? >> i haven't been able to hear it because i was getting prepared for being on your show but i caught a little bit of it, and look, declaration of independence is very clear, the government derives its power from the consent of the governed. the people of wyoming spoke tonight. and they spoke because they want the agenda that they saw it in terms of draining the swamp. they didn't want more of the swamp. that's i think what this boils down to. history has a way of cleansing all of the noise. and when history is judged, when we look at this moment, it's about a change. it's about moving forward. it's about not 2022 or 2024, but 2026, when america turns 250 years old

congress woman cheney is facing a trump backed election denying challenger in harriet hageman, if you want a sneak peek with the way the election is expected to go, look at this, the latest poll from the university of wyoming, it shows that voters who support hageman are overwhelmingly thinking that joe biden secretly isn't really the president. of voters who support harriet hageman, the percentage of them who accept that joe biden really is the president legitimately is only 16%. meanwhile, if you look at liz cheney voters, cheney who says they are likely to vote for liz cheney, they believe joe biden's election is legitimate at a rate of 93%. 93% versus 16%. what makes those results even more stunning is that that same poll shows cheney losing to hageman by nearly 30 points. it looks like republicans from wyoming are set to oust cheney because she accepts the reality that trump didn't win the 2020 election, and because of the way she stood up against his efforts to try to stay in power anyway. that said, you know, poms aren't elections. elections are elections. and anything is possi

if we look at the wyoming numbers, harriet hageman, backed by president trump, former president trumpwinner. remember, 1 congressional district in wyoming, this primary going in, hageman had 20, 30-point lead in the polls. she's going to end up tonight, by all estimates, being up about 35-40 points over the incumbent congresswoman liz cheney. it was really at the beginning of the night, the middle of the county here, hageman had a nine-point lead, even in the absentee ballots, and that suggested that even the same day voters that are usually the truck voters who vote on election day, that no way would liz cheney make up that difference. the only place she won up here was around hole, teton county. hageman talked about why she thought she had the victory tonight. >> wyoming deserves a real representative in congress, one that understands wyoming, one that loves wyoming, and one that loves wyoming as much as all of us do. i will be accountable to the voters and citizens of wyoming, because i am one of you. and just like you, i am sick and tired of not having a voice in the u.s. house of

harriet hageman netted some two thirds of the vote, and this was a seat cheney won by more than 70% two years ago during her concession speech, cheney, who is vice chair of the january six committee, said she could have easily won a gain, but that would've meant embracing trump's lie about the 2020 election. and that was a path she could not take. wyoming voters punished her for that stance. >> this is a fight for all of us together. i am a conservative republican. i believe deeply in the principles and ideals upon which my party was founded. i love it's. history and i love what our party has stood for. but i love my country more. >> wyoming has drawn a line in the sand, that if we put you in power, you will be accountable to us. you will answer to us. and you will do what is in our best interest. and if you don't, we will fire you. >> cheney warned freedom must and cannot die, and we must be very clear eyed about the threat we face. direct words there. cnn's jeff zeleny was there, and has this report from jackson. >> congressman woman liz cheney concedes defeat in her primary race, but

what did harriet hageman, the winner of that primary say at her victory speech? >> liz cheney is looking for her own potential 2024 presidential run. wyoming will likely have a new congresswoman and that is harriet hageman, who was lifted up because of the donald trump endorsement, campaigned along the former president here and last night in her victory speech, there was tones of populism, the idea that she was fighting for the people of wyoming. when you look at what's going to be ultimately probably about a 38 percentage point win here, these are the undertones of i am here to represent you and the people. of course the irony of that is that she has propagated that this was a rigged 2020 election and that donald trump should be in office. this is the message we've heard from the former president himself as he has traversed this country campaigning on behalf of candidates who have echoed to a broader part of the republican electorate that the wrong person is in the white house. so harriet hageman is going to be a stark contrast to liz cheney, who is going to con

hageman won about 66% of the vote. cheney received about 29%. cheney, who is the daughter of former vice president dick cheney, spoke to supporters last night in jackson, wyoming. >> two years ago i won his primary was 73% of the vote. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear. but it would have required that i go along with president trump about the 2020 election. it would have required that i enabled's ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attacked the foundations of our republic. that was a path i could not and would not take. amy: in alaska, former governor and 2008 republican vice presidential candidate sarah palin appears set to be one of four candidates to advance to november's general election for alaska's sole house seat which was held by don young, who died in march. meanwhile, alaskan republican senator lisa murkowski and her fellow republican rival kelly tshibaka, who has been endorsed by trump, have both advanced to november's general election. we will have more on the primary results later in the br
