2024 United States Senate election in Wyoming

The 2024 United States Senate election in Wyoming was held on November 5, 2024. Incumbent Republican Senator John Barazzo announced on June 30, 2023 that he would not seek re-election to the seat which he had held since 2007. This led to a competitive and in some cases, violent race to succeed Barazzo in the Senate. The two candidates deemed the most likely to face each other in the election were former Wyoming at-large House of Representatives member and chairwoman of the House Republican Conference Liz Cheney, and rapper, businessman, and conspiracy theorist Kanye West, running under his legal name Ye. Cheney was considered the front runner for the majority of the campaign, while Ye ran as the unofficially endorsed candidate of former President Donald Trump. As the campaign season ran its course, the polls began to narrow, as Cheney’s lead dwindled to single-digits. On November 5, 2024, Liz Cheney was declared the winner of the election with 54 percent of the vote to Ye’s 46 percent. Ye would go on to reject the results of the election, declaring himself the rightfully election Senator from Wyoming, and began publicly calling for Liz Cheney’s execution as a traitor to the Constitution. This would lead directly to the attempted assassination of Liz Cheney on January 4, 2024, just one day after taking the oath of office.
