Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday he’ll meet next week with some of the seven Republican challengers hoping to defeat Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, saying he wants only his endorsed candidate to square off against Ms. Cheney in the 2022 GOP primary.

“In the end we just want ONE CANDIDATE running against Cheney,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. He said he will meet with some of the challengers at his headquarters at Bedminister, New Jersey, and announce his endorsement within a few months.

Anti-Cheney forces are concerned that the crowded GOP field could enable her to win the primary with a plurality. A poll by the conservative Club for Growth in April found that 52% of those surveyed said they wouldn’t vote for Ms. Cheney under any circumstances.
