With 99% of the vote counted, Hageman got 105,846 votes to Cheney's 45,493. Hageman got 65.7% of the votes cast, Cheney got 29.5%, and miscellaneous candidates split the remaining 5%.
This outcome was totally expected. Following the thorough repudiation by WY, if Cheney runs for something else she will do so as a resident of the northern Virginia suburbs where she actually lives.
At some point I hope to read whether, as I expect, the turnout for a WY midterm primary broke records. One hundred fifty thousand GOP votes cast in a state with a total cradle-to-grave population of just over half a million is darn good.
