  "account": "Republican Harriet Hageman secured victory in the Tuesday election for a seat in the U.S. Senate from Wyoming, defeating her Democratic opponent James Byrd. Hageman, who has been a U.S. House representative since 2023, will be succeeding Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a 72-year-old Republican who is stepping down after one term. Given that registered Republican voters outnumber Democrats 7 to 1 in Wyoming, Hageman had a clear advantage over Byrd, a former state representative. Hageman gained recognition for her defeat of then-Rep. Liz Cheney in a GOP primary in 2022, which secured her the sole U.S. House seat in Wyoming. Cheney was known for being one of the most vocal Republican critics of President Donald Trump following the U.S. Capitol attack and Trump's attempts to stay in office post his 2020 election loss. The Associated Press officially declared Hageman the winner at 9:00 p.m. EST.",
