Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) released a conciliatory statement in response to Republican Liz Cheney’s decision to drop out of the primary against the Wyoming senator.
“While it is not always easy, Diana and I have always believed in putting family first. We have tremendous respect for Liz’s decision. She and her entire family are in our thoughts and prayers,” Enzi said in a statement on Monday.
The statement came less than 24 hours after Cheney announced that she was dropping out of the Senate race. Cheney, in her statement, cited recent health issues in her family as her reason for ending her candidacy for Enzi’s seat.
“I remain as committed as always to the job the people of Wyoming have elected me to do. I look forward to continuing my campaign for re-election in the coming months,” Enzi continued in the statement.
