Former President Donald Trump is calling on a former congressman from Wisconsin to run for governor.
Trump released a statement Saturday saying he is working hard to get Sean Duffy to run for Wisconsin’s top elective office.
There has been no indication Duffy is even considering a campaign for the job – and it is significant that Trump is backing him rather than former Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch.
Duffy and his wife sold their Wausau home last month and list a home in New Jersey as their current residence. He has been a strong Trump supporter.
He represented Wisconsin’s Seventh Congressional District from 2010 until he resigned in 2019.
