Harriet Hageman wins Republican primary for Wyoming's open Senate seat with the complete and total endorsement of President Trump
Harriet Hageman has won the Republican primary for Wyoming’s open Senate seat, advancing to the general election in the deep-red state. The administration announced that President Trump offered his “complete and total endorsement” on Truth Social, describing Hageman as a “TOTAL WINNER” who has consistently delivered for the state. Hageman previously won her House seat with the support of President Trump after ousting a critic in 2022. This open seat was created after incumbent Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she would not seek re-election. Hageman faced a primary field that included former Kirby Mayor Sam Mead. In the general election, she will face a1 moderate Democratic candidate, James Byrd, who has criticized the administration's tariffs and advocated for stronger border security. Wyoming has not had a Democratic senator since 1962, and Hageman enters the race with a strong mandate from the administration's key supporters.
