The top two Senate Republicans as of Wednesday afternoon did not comment on Rep. Liz Cheney losing her Wyoming primary race to challenger Harriet Hageman.
Thune has not as vocally embraced Cheney as McConnell – although he also did criticize the RNC for its censure of Cheney, according to The Hill. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., issued a statement on the race shortly after it was called Tuesday night, though it did not mention Cheney by name.
"Congratulations to Harriet Hageman on her primary win. Harriet will be a tremendous ally in the fight to unleash American energy, combat inflation and secure our southern border," Barrasso said."Along with Cynthia Lummis, the three of us will be a strong, conservative, and effective team for the people of Wyoming."
On the House side, McCarthy campaigned against Cheney in the days leading up to the primary, calling the election"a referendum on the January 6 Committee."Tyler Olson covers politics for Fox News Digital.
