The Associated Press projected Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman the winner of Wyoming’s open U.S. Senate seat, according to Bloomberg and Breitbart, which report the call came early on election night. Breitbart says the AP and NBC News called the race at 7:00 p.m. local time, and The Hill attributes its report to Decision Desk HQ. Hageman defeated Democrat James Byrd and would succeed retiring Sen. Cynthia Lummis, who did not seek a second term. Breitbart reports that official vote tallies had not yet been published. Hageman, who has represented Wyoming’s at-large House district since 2023, said she would not let residents down.
