With Democratic Governor
Tony Evers' announcement
that he will not run
for a third term
the November 2026
election for governor
is wide open.
It's the second time
in my 60 years on this earth
where we've had an open
gubernatorial seat
2010 was the last time
Scott Walker beat
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
So the fact that
it's an open seat
is an opportunity
for Republicans
to actually win here.
You know, if you look at on face
Wisconsin, you know
goes back and forth.
But if you look at
the real numbers
and where
the Republican Party is
right now
you know
if you're not Donald Trump
the party has Wisconsin
voters have rejected you
in statewide elections
election after election
after election.
Well, I mean, obviously
if the Republican Party
which is wholly controlled by
Donald Trump, were to win
the gubernatorial election
and Democrats not pick up
either of the chambers
it would be the most
radical extreme
partisan hand out
to special interests
in corporate
and the wealthy
that we've ever seen
in the history of Wisconsin.
At the end of the day
where Scott
and I actually do agree.
Donald Trump's
going to
pick the winner
of this primary.
Whoever he endorses in
this primary
will win the race
for sure on our side.
If we want to win this thing
and it's a real
opportunity to win
we got to hang together
and whoever wins the
primary, that's our person.
