Incumbent Cynthia Lummis is retiring and the seat is R+22, mostly because it’s also the state of Wyoming and Wyoming is deep, deep, deep Republican territory. Judging from this, Liz Cheney has a decent if not guaranteed shot at the nomination; and she won’t be hurt by the fact that it’s her father’s old seat. As to the general… the last Democratic Congressman from Wyoming retired in 1978*. So, again, it’s a pretty safe seat.
Should be an interesting primary race. Especially when the antiwar Left notices that she’s running. They’re gonna go nuts…

“Shame he was a Democrat, really.”
Damned shame that distinction is so stark, these dark days…I remember a time when Democrats could still be reasonable and respectable people with virtues and morals and Hey American Values.
The funny thing is, you can still find Democrats like that…but they all vote for the immoral, iniquitous Commie pinko bastards we see carrying the Donk banner forward into the miserable past. Weird.
I think they’ll be more upset about her lovelife in conjunction with not being part of the identity politics hivemind.

That could be an existential threat to them.
Goldwater sought to peel off a fabulous chunk of that bloc decades ago.

Given the remarkable stupid in the Kennedy decision could have been avoided…
