Liz Cheney, opponent of Donald Trump, lost her bet in the state of Wyoming during a Republican primary.

Liz Cheney failed to win the Republican primary in Wyoming on Tuesday August 16. What is being played out in this Republican primary in Wyoming is in a way a battle for influence that could be summed up to the question: for or against Donald Trump? of a sidethe Republican candidates who are supported by the former president, and on the other, all those who were able, at some point, to criticize Donald Trump, his action, or even his role during the attack on the Capitol.

All of these have become a target for Donald Trump, who wishes to eliminate them from the party. This strategy appears to be working as at least three Trump-backed Republicans lost their primary and four of them simply withdrew, some following death threats. What is emerging is the future of the Republican Party and the possibility of a second term for Trump in 2024.
