Republicans and Democrats are preparing for a competitive election in Wyoming, where Sen. Cynthia Lummis has announced her retirement. Candidates on both sides are eager to fill her seat.

Rep. Harriet Hageman is one of five Republicans aiming to succeed Lummis. Hageman has secured an endorsement from President Donald Trump, boosting her prominence in the race.

On the Democratic side, former state Rep. James Byrd is expected to be a key contender against Hageman in the November election. The political landscape in Wyoming is predominantly Republican, with all statewide offices currently held by the party.
