WASHINGTON, D.C. - Liz Cheney, whose bid to unseat Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi sparked a round of warfare in the Republican Party and even within her own family, is dropping out of the Senate primary.
The official announcement from Cheney – the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney – could come as early as Monday.
Her election bid in the deeply conservative state was controversial from the outset.
Her Wyoming credentials were challenged in spite of her family's deep roots in the state, because she spent much of her youth and adult life in Virginia.
Last summer, she committed an embarrassing political gaffe in a state where hunting and fishing are taken very seriously by mistakenly buying the wrong fishing license after living in Wyoming for just a few months.
Then a bitter spat over same-sex marriage between the Cheney sisters spilled over into the public arena when Mary Cheney and her wife, Heather Poe, took to social media to blast the elder sister for her continued opposition to gay marriage.
NBC News' Alastair Jamieson, and Reuters, contributed to this report.
