There has never been an endorsement more powerful than the Trump endorsement.

Congratulations to Trump-Endorsed @HagemanforWY on her massive win against America Last @Liz_Cheney.
MAGA!
I demand a recount of the Wyoming election. Not because I think Liz Cheney did better but because I want to see her get her ass kicked again.

Former President Donald Trump also celebrated her loss, as IJR reported.
“This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added, “Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. Thank you WYOMING!”
Cheney spoke with NBC’s “Today Show” Wednesday morning about what is next for her.
“I will do whatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office,” she said.
Cheney was asked if she would run for president in 2024.
She proceeded to tell the network that she would make that decision “in the coming months.”
Additionally, Cheney suggested that defeating Trump “is going to require a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents. And that’s what I intend to be part of.”
