CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Liz Cheney is returning to Wyoming after a busy week of hearing public testimony before the House Jan. 6 committee to debate Republican primary challengers including Harriet Hageman, her Donald Trump-endorsed opponent.

Cheney will likely draw criticism in Thursday's televised debate for investigating the former president's effort to overturn the 2020 election and his encouragement of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

While Cheney has taken a key role as one of just two Republicans on the House committee, she's faced a backlash among Republicans in deep-red Wyoming.

The state Republican Party last year censured her and voted to no longer recognize her as a Republican. Even so, Cheney has if anything increased her national profile, out-raising Hageman by a well over 2-to-1 margin over the first three months of 2022.

Thursday's debate hosted by Wyoming PBS in Sheridan will be closed to the public for security reasons and to prevent people from disrupting the event, the station’s General Manager Terry Dugas said in a statement.

3. This is surreal. I just moved (back) to Wyoming...

.. and I gotta tell ya .. I'm registering as a Repuke (cognitive dissonance level 1) and voting for a Cheney (L2) in a Republican primary (L3).

If she wins, I'll vote against her in the general. Hopefully that will resolve the brain pain

7. Saw a clip of the debate last night

Cheney was cool, calm,collected and articulate while Hageman, the top challenger, was hyperventilating every response.
