Trump took to Truth Social to provide his endorsement, saying in part:
"Highly Respected America First Congressman, Tom Tiffany, is running to be the next Governor of the GREAT State of Wisconsin, a very special place to me in that we had a BIG Presidential Election Win just over one year ago, on November 5, 2024!
"Tom Tiffany has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of Wisconsin — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair, Devin Remiker released a statement following the endorsement:
"Donald Trump just made Tom Tiffany the general election nominee, and we will stop him from bringing his chaotic and dangerous agenda in November."
DGA spokesperson Izzi Levy released the following statement on Donald Trump’s endorsement of Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin:
“Tonight’s endorsement is the latest reminder for Wisconsinites seeing their costs go up, their health care under attack, and their rights stripped away that they can thank Tom Tiffany for all of it. Tiffany has proudly voted in lockstep for Washington Republicans’ expensive and unpopular agenda that has hurt families, farmers, and small businesses across Wisconsin, and now he’s running to bring Washington’s chaos back to the Badger State. Tiffany can’t outrun his record, and Wisconsin voters will never let him anywhere near the governorship.”
The growing list of Democratic primary candidates includes former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, current Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, State Rep. Francesca Hong, State Sen. Kelda Roys and Missy Hughes.
