Get ready for Rep. Liz Cheney. The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney won the Gop primary for Wyoming's only House seat on Tuesday, defeating seven opponents to move one step closer to Capitol Hill. Cheney celebrated her win on Twitter, posting a photo of her and her father hugging. "I'm honored by the trust Wyoming Gop voters placed in me to serve as our next congressman," she wrote. Cheney is on the path to follow in her father's footsteps: The former vice president held Wyoming's House seat from 1979 to 1989, when he resigned to serve as President George H.W. Bush's Defense secretary.
