Liz Cheney says she won't run for Senate seat

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney has announced she will not run for Senate, passing on a competitive GOP primary in favor of remaining in the House and GOP leadership.
“I believe I can have the biggest impact for the people of Wyoming by remaining in leadership in the House of Representatives and working [to] take our Republican majority,” Cheney said in a statement first reported by the Casper Star-Tribune.
Cheney had been seen as a potential candidate in the race to replace GOP Sen. Mike Enzi, who announced last year that he would retire and not seek reelection. Former Rep. Cynthia Lummis is already running, and Cheney’s decision likely leaves her a path to becoming the nominee in the safe Republican seat.
