Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) praised an endorsement from Yellowstone star Kevin Costner as she meets a challenging primary facing a rival endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

A tweet from Cheney includes a picture showing Costner smiling while wearing a shirt that reads "I'm for Liz Cheney," with the post stating, "Real men put country over party."

Costner stars in the Paramount Network show Yellowstone, named after the national park that encompasses Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. His obvious endorsement has given Cheney one of her highest-profile backers to date. He has a 160-acre ranch in Colorado and does shoots for the show in Montana, according to Taste of Country.

Cheney is facing a tough GOP primary fight against Trump-supported Harriet Hageman for her at-large district while the incumbent helps lead the Jan. 6 committee's probe.

The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney was denounced by her state's Republican Party after her vote to impeach Trump after the Capitol riot, and later, the party voted in November to stop recognizing her as a Republican altogether.

The Republican primary for the Wyoming at-large House seat is Aug. 16. Recent polling shows Liz Cheney, who has further received the blessing of former President George W. Bush, trailing Hageman.

Meanwhile, Costner purchased 160 acres of unspoiled rural splendor in Aspen, Colo., in 2000, and he's turned it into a picturesque paradise. According to online property listings, the Dunbar Ranch — named after Costner's character in Dances With Wolves — includes an opulent main residence, a lake house and a river house, as well as a Fields of Dreams-style baseball field, a sledding hill and a private ice rink.

The property further includes many water features, three hot tubs and on-site caretakers. It's available to rent throughout the part of the year when Costner is not living there, priced at $36,000 per night.
