Quote:A Wyoming state senator on Wednesday confirmed his primary challenge to Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump.

State Sen. Anthony Bouchard said he intended to challenge Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary, per The Hill.

"Wyoming voters are strong conservatives who want our leaders to stand up for America, defend our freedoms, fight for our way of life and always put working people first as President Trump did," Bouchard said in a statement. "Liz Cheney’'s long-time opposition to President Trump and her most recent vote for Impeachment shows just how out-of-touch she is with Wyoming.

"Wyoming taxpayers need a voice in Congress who will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, and not give them cover. That's why I'm running for Congress."
