U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis announced Friday that she will not seek reelection in 2026 after one term as senator, serving since 2021.
Lummis, a staunch conservative and Wyoming’s first female U.S. senator, made the announcement in a news release and on social media.
Rep. Harriet Hageman, a Republican, is running for Senate in Wyoming next year, seeking to replace retiring GOP Sen. Cynthia Lummis, who announced last week that she would not run for re-election.
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, 63, was elected to be the state’s lone representative in Congress in 2022 after ousting then-Rep. Liz 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.
