"SNIP.......

Liz Cheney has released her concession call to Harriet Hageman, after the Trump-backed Republican who won the Wyoming US House primary on Tuesday told Fox News her rival had not made “any kind of concession or anything else”.

Cheney gave a recording of the call to Politico. In it, she said: “Hi, Harriet, it is Liz Cheney calling. It is about 8.13 [pm] on Tuesday the 16th. I’m calling to concede the election and congratulate you on the win. Thanks.”

Hageman beat Cheney, a three-term congresswoman, in a landslide.

Cheney’s work as vice-chair of the House January 6 committee, and opposition to Donald Trump, sealed her fate in Wyoming, a deep-red state once represented by her father, the former vice-president Dick Cheney.
