Wyoming’s GOP primary elections underscore party division


Wyoming’s early voting for the Aug. 20 primary is underway, shaping the state’s political future. The Republican stronghold, where 86 out of 93 state legislature seats are held by Republicans, is seeing a divide between the Wyoming Freedom Caucus and the more moderate Wyoming Caucus. While the boundaries between the factions are blurry, over a dozen state senators aligned with the Freedom Caucus during the 2024 legislative session.

Advertisements for the primaries are full of traditional Wyoming imagery and values, emphasizing the importance of preserving the state’s way of life. The upcoming primaries will be crucial in determining the direction of the Republican Party in Wyoming. The outcome could either see more Freedom Caucus members gaining power and potentially shifting control, or maintaining moderate Republicans in power, albeit on shaky ground.

USA TODAY is monitoring Wyoming’s regional and congressional races closely, as the state’s political landscape undergoes significant changes. The question remains as to whether the momentum that led to Rep. Liz Cheney’s defeat in 2022 will continue to shape the state’s political future.
