Rep. Harriet Hageman wins Wyoming’s Republican Senate primary, securing the party nomination to run for the seat of retiring Sen. Cynthia Lummis, NBC News projects. Hageman is Wyoming’s only House member and is positioned to succeed Lummis in the general election.
The New York Times describes Hageman as heavily favored in Wyoming, a deep-red state. The outlet also notes her political background, including her 2022 primary victory over Rep. Liz Cheney, which she previously used to establish national prominence. Both outlets frame the win as a step toward a likely competitive-but-favorability-leaning path in the general election, given the state’s voting history and Hageman’s existing profile.
