Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are set Tuesday to test their mettle against the Trump-fueled primary buzzsaw that has ripped through the GOP this election cycle, separating Trump foes from their political careers.
Ms. Cheney and Ms. Murkowski both have been vocal critics of former President Donald Trump, but they appear to be on very different electoral paths against their Trump-backed rivals. Ms. Cheney is staring at near certain defeat in the winner-take-all primary in deep-red Wyoming, and Ms. Murkowski is well-positioned to fight another day in Alaska’s ranked-choice primary.
