Wyoming presents a ruby red presentation to the White House and Congress

The Cowboy State lived up to its conservative reputation on Tuesday by overwhelmingly voting for former President Trump and sending Republican Sen. John Barrasso and Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman back to Congress with overwhelming victories.

Trump received just over 70 percent of the vote in Wyoming in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections and continued his dominance this election cycle. Kylie Dorr, a Cheyenne resident who has volunteered as a door knocker for a local Republican politician, is pleased that her state remains Trump Country.

“It’s a good path forward for Wyoming,” Dorr said. “Wyoming is fed up with the last four years of the Biden administration. We are ready for change and for significant prosperity and revitalization of our country.”

Wyoming's support for Trump's conservative policies extends to the Trump-supporting congressional delegation. Barrasso easily defeated his Democratic challenger Scott Morrow, while Hageman did the same to his Democratic opponent Kyle Cameron.

What happened to the Wyoming Property Tax Amendment?

Wyoming's Amendment A, which allows the Legislature to place residential property in its own class, has yet to be convened. However, the amendment appears to be on track for victory, with its supporters claiming an 18-point lead and two-thirds of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press.

Where did the Democrats gain seats?

Although Republicans hold an overwhelming majority in the state legislature, Democratic candidate Ivan Posey, a native of the reservation's Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribal nations, won House District 33, which covers much of the Wind River Indian Reservation. If these results hold, Democrats will begin 2025 with eight of the 93 seats in the House.
