John Barrasso (R-WY) said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is unlikely to win her primary battle, claiming there are \u201cnot enough Democrats\u201d to help her.<\/p>\n<p>Barrasso shared the comments on \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d with host Mike Emanuel concerning Cheney\u2019s strong views regarding the events of January 6, 2021, and her role on the House select committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWyoming politics is very personal. It\u2019s face-to-face. It\u2019s town to town,\u201d Barrasso <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/transcript\/fox-news-sunday-july-10-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe travel that I have done around the state, I think she has a lot of work to do if she hopes to win the primary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheney has also become a controversial primary target over her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump following the assault on the U.S. Capitol. Trump has endorsed Republican challenger Harriet Hageman against Cheney in Wyoming\u2019s primary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s really not that many Democrats out there,\u201d Barrasso told Emanuel. \u201cEven the chairman of the Democratic Party said there are not enough Democrats to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/23\/us\/politics\/liz-cheney-wyoming-democrats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that Cheney\u2019s campaign had sent mailers to Wyoming Democrats providing specific instructions on how people could switch their voter affiliation and vote for her in the August GOP primary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiz Cheney told The New York Times that she wouldn\u2019t be encouraging Democrats to raid the Republican primary, but I guess the drive to hold onto power is just too strong for her to keep her word,\u201d Hageman\u2019s campaign manager Carly Miller said. \u201cWhat Cheney doesn\u2019t understand is that Democrats will drop her like a bad habit after she\u2019s no longer useful to them on the Jan. 6 committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wyoming\u2019s primary is August 16. Early voting has already begun in the state.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to addressing Cheney\u2019s reelection bid, Barrasso also spoke in response to surging inflation across America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamilies are really hurting all across the country. When talking to people around Wyoming in terms of inflation, they\u2019re spending $100 a week more now than they were last year just to just to (sic) keep up,\u201d he tweeted alongside footage from his interview.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Families are really hurting all across the country.
