Trump-backed Rep. Harriet Hageman wins Republican Senate primary in Wyoming
Hageman won the Republican nomination in a landslide and will face Democrat James Byrd for the open seat after Sen. Cynthia Lummis retires.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman won Wyoming's Republican primary for U.S. Senate, while state Rep. James Byrd secured the Democratic nomination in a landslide. Both will face off in the general election to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis.
- President Donald Trump endorsed Hageman, calling her a "TOTAL WINNER" who has "ALWAYS delivered for Wyoming." Trump won 72.3 percent of Wyoming's vote in 2024, positioning his backing as significant in the heavily Republican state.
- Byrd, a Wyoming-born businessman, focuses on affordability and cost of living. "We are going to take on the cost of living we're going to take on the affordability," Byrd said, also calling for a "full stop" on data center development.
- The Cheyenne Data Center contaminated the city's water system with Cupriavidus gilardii, sparking cleanup efforts and voter concerns. Republican voter Jacob Roth told The Epoch Times, "We don't want our water supply tainted or our electricity bills to go up."
- Byrd admits he faces an uphill battle but hopes to attract moderate Republicans to fill a political void. The general election will determine who succeeds Lummis after she retires at the end of her term.
