Cowboy Santos Runs!

 

MAGAland lawmaker Harriet Hageman takes the Senate run.


It's official, Rep. Harriet Maxine Hageman (R-WY) has announced her bid for the U.S. Senate. She is a staunch supporter of President Donald J. Trump. He already gave his endorsement to her.

Days after Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) announced her retirement, the junk food media and of myself knew that Hageman would run. It was clear as fucking day.

The 63 year old will try to ______ her experience to Wyoming voters. It is a solid Republican state so a competitive challenge from a Democrat or an independent is low.

Trump quickly gave Hageman "my Complete and Total Endorsement, writing on Truth Social hours after she launched her campaign that he knows Hageman well and she "is a TOTAL WINNER! Harriet has ALWAYS delivered for Wyoming, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate."

Hageman did a Brutus move on Caesar. She used to be a communication advisor to Liz Cheney when she tried a run for the Senate.

Hageman elected to be the state’s lone representative in Congress in 2022 after ousting Cheney in a primary. Hageman had Trump's endorsement against Cheney, a vocal critic of the president, and the congresswoman name-checked the president in her three-minute launch video on Tuesday.

“I stood with President Trump to deliver the largest tax cut in American history, helping working families keep more of their own money,” Hageman said, later adding, “We worked together to secure the border and fund efforts to remove and deport those in the country illegally.”

“We must keep up this fight, and that’s why today I’m announcing my campaign for United States Senate,” Hageman said. “This fight is about making sure the next century sees the advancements of the last while protecting our culture and our way of life. We must dedicate ourselves to ensuring that the next 100 years is the next great American century.”

The folks call her Cowboy Santos.

Hageman had been eyeing a run for governor, but ultimately decided to run for Senate, noting in an interview with Cowboy State Daily published Tuesday that “it’s important that we have someone who can hit the ground running the moment [Lummis] retires. That’s not the place for on-the-job training.”

Hageman added that Trump is “well aware” that she is running for Senate, and she would welcome his endorsement.

It's not yet clear if Hageman will face a tough fight for the GOP nomination, especially with Trump's endorsement. There are multiple opportunities for other Wyoming Republicans to run statewide, given the open governor's race and Hageman's campaign opening up her at-large House seat.

The winner of the GOP primary would be in a strong position to win the Senate seat in the deep-red state. Trump won Wyoming by nearly 46 percentage points last year. Hageman won her second term in 2024 by 48 points.

Although Wyoming is a solidly Republican state, Hageman faced a rowdy crowd at a town hall earlier this year. She was met with boos as she commented on federal government cuts, the Department of Government Efficiency and the future of Social Security.

Hageman called the outbursts “over the top” and said, “It’s so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with federal government.” Her adviser dismissed the disruptions as “pre-planned” and “political theater.”
