Wisconsin Politics

President Donald Trump has endorsed Michael Alfonso, the son‑in‑law of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Fox News host Rachel Campos‑Duffy, for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, while also backing current Rep. Tom Tiffany to run for governor. In Truth Social posts Monday and Tuesday night, Trump praised Alfonso as a lifelong 'winner' from a 'spectacular family' and gave him his 'Complete and Total Endorsement' to succeed Tiffany in the north‑central Wisconsin district. Alfonso responded on X that he would be a 'steadfast MAGA warrior' for the district, explicitly tying his bid to Trump’s movement. Trump simultaneously endorsed Tiffany for governor, with Tiffany touting Trump’s record on wages, gas prices, growth and border security as he launched his statewide campaign. The dual endorsements further lock Trump into Wisconsin’s 2026 GOP primary landscape, reinforcing his influence over both congressional and gubernatorial fields in a state that has swung between parties in recent national elections.
