Saying "serious health issues have arisen in our family", Liz Cheney, the former national television commentator and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, officially dropped her Republican primary challenge to Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi.
Trailing by more than 30 points in a number of publicly-released polls, the Cheney campaign never fully came to fruition as a serious challenge to the three-term incumbent. She was successful on the fundraising trail, however, amassing more than $1 million since her July 2013 announcement, and that is prior to publishing the fourth quarter financial numbers in the year-end Federal Election Commission disclosure report.
The Wyoming Senate race should now be an easy ride for Mr. Enzi, as he will likely be unopposed for re-nomination. The Democrats will not seriously contest the seat in the general election.
