Hageman video fuels Senate chatter as Lummis leaves Wyoming seat open
Harriet Hageman’s “Soon” teaser on X sharpens talk of a 2026 Senate bid to replace crypto ally Cynthia Lummis, raising the stakes for Wyoming’s pro‑crypto brand.
Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman fueled speculation about a 2026 Senate run after posting a cryptic video days after Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she will not seek reelection.
The five-second clip shows the congresswoman alongside a single-word caption: “Soon.” It breaks a months‑long lull on her account and bolsters speculation that she is eyeing Lummis’ open seat.
Wyoming’s Senate seat has been a reliable voice in advancing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry, from market structure bills and stablecoin regulation to banking access. Whoever replaces Lummis will help decide whether crypto keeps a dedicated champion in the Senate.
