Trump trails Biden by 10 points, a gap that grew by two points since the start of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s notoriety has increased in mainstream media over her opposition to Trump and involvement in the House committee to investigate the events of January 6, 2021. Despite her acclaim among some of those on the Left, Cheney was soundly defeated during her party\u2019s August primary by Harriet Hageman. Hageman would go on to win Wyoming\u2019s only House seat in November.<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman later chose to endorse multiple Democrats in the days ahead of the midterm elections.
