Liz Cheney Funded by Obama, Hillary Donors in GOP Primary

Many of the Democrat political elites are funding Rep. Liz Cheney's (R-WY) reelection bid in Wyoming’s Republican primary against Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman, who has taken a huge lead with the primary just around the corner, and are coming out of the woodwork to protect one of their own.

Support for Cheney

• Dmitri Mehlhorn, a strategist who advises far-left LinkedIn co-founder and Democrat donor Reid Hoffman, is also supporting Cheney's reelection bid.
• Additional Democrat donors include Google executive Vint Cerf, Jane Fraser, the chief executive of Citigroup, and Boston-based billionaire hedge fund manager Seth Klarman, who views himself more aligned with the establishment.
  1. The Democrat donors have taken an interest in the Wyoming primary after Cheney's campaign began soliciting Democrat votes last month.
  2. While polling shows Hageman has taken a huge lead with the primary just around the corner, the American donor class has taken notice of Cheney's shrinking chances of retaining her seat on August 16.
  3. Additional Democrat donors include Google executive Vint Cerf, Jane Fraser, the chief executive of Citigroup, and Boston-based billionaire hedge fund manager Seth Klarman, who views himself more aligned with the establishment.
  4. “I’m not going to convince the crazies and I reject the crazies,” Cheney said at a Republican event for Wyoming voters in February.
  5. “As I looked at what Liz Cheney did, which was brave in the face of enormous pressure from others in her party, to stand up to them and say, ‘No, this is wrong,’ I was impressed enough by that to say, ‘You know what? She deserves support for that,’” Cerf stated.
  6. On Thursday, Cheney even accepted President Biden's invitation to attend the televised Medal of Freedom ceremony 1,711 miles away from Casper, Wyoming.
  7. One of the Democrats; most prominent donors, film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, who has funded Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's former presidential campaigns, has donated at least $43,000 to Cheney.
  8. We shouldn't mistake adoring press coverage and bipartisan bona fides for popularity in the place where popularity matters most for Cheney: Wyoming, CNN's Harry Enten analyzed.
