Nathaniel, you have a thousand books and you've moved twice in the past two to three years.

Yeah, it was, it was, yeah, enough on.

Is your back okay?

Well, I hired a mover so I didn't have to worry about it.

Last night was a big test for some big names in the Republican party in Wyoming and Alaska.

Most notably in Wyoming, representative Liz Cheney lost her primary to Harriet Hageman

by even more than expected of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump after January 6th.

We can now definitively say that only two will advance to the general election this fall after the rest have either retired or lost their primaries.

But this was the expected outcome for Cheney and she didn't appear to be running to win.

She was running to send a message about Trump.

So the question remains, what does she do with that message now?

And in Alaska, we're still awaiting final results, but the picture from the night is coming into focus.

Senator Lisa Murkowski and her main Republican opponent will both advance to the general election.

And speaking of ranked choice voting, thanks to that system, we won't know who won the special election in the state

and what the future holds for Sarah Peele and until later this month.
