Republican voters are heading to the polls for primary elections in Alaska and Wyoming. Two highly contentious races are taking place in these states Tuesday.


Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is facing opposition from Donald Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka. Murkowski was one of seven senators who voted to impeach the 45th President the second time.




Meanwhile, experts are wondering if Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy0.) can secure her seat against Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman. She’s one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and she’s also one of two Republicans on the January 6 panel. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is the other who has co*e to her defense often.


“Look, we are standing up against evil, Liz Cheney’s standing up against evil,” claimed Kinzinger. “And I say this, you know I put out this message the other day, which is a lot of people sit around and they dream up the day they get to do it and very few people ever get that chance to really stand up against evil. And as we’ve seen in Congress, many who do get that chance — don’t. She has fought a valiant fight. Her fight is not over, regardless of what happens on Tuesday.”




Cheney is expected to lose to Hageman as polls show the incumbent congresswoman is down by double digits.
