Former President Donald Trump shook up the Wisconsin governor’s race over the weekend and urged former Republican Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy to challenge Democratic incumbent Tony Evers next November. Trump issued a statement on Saturday, exclaiming, “Run, Sean, Run!” Trump said he’s been working hard to get Duffy to enter the race and that Duffy would be “virtually unbeatable.”
The only high-profile Republican candidate in the contest so far is former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch. A source told wispolitics.com that Duffy is considering a bid. In this week’s Capitol Notes, Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com what he thinks the chances are that Duffy will throw his hat into the race.
