Evers campaign: Trump loyalist Tim Michels is abandoned by Donald Trump in final days before the election

MADISON, Wis. — With nearly a week to go in the election, Donald Trump has issued the ultimate snub to his handpicked candidate Tim Michels by campaigning across the country for his other endorsed candidates in key swing states, with no plans to visit Wisconsin. Throughout his campaign, Michels has embraced Trump’s radical conspiracies, from the Big Lie to the election decertification. The New York Times even reported that Michels went all-in on Trump’s anti-democracy agenda after aides to Donald Trump reprimanded Michels for comments he made during a July debate.

WisDems: In critical final days, Donald Trump abandons his handpicked candidate Tim Michels

MADISON, Wis. — Despite Tim Michels bowing down to Donald Trump’s election lies to secure the endorsement of the disgraced former president, Trump appears to have turned his back on Michels, announcing campaign events in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa – skipping Wisconsin.

WisDems: Ron Johnson tries to distance himself from his out of touch, anti-choice record

MADISON, Wis. – In a new interview, Ron Johnson tried his hardest to distance himself from his long record of working to take away Wisconsinites’ reproductive freedoms.  Wisconsin voters know the facts:  Johnson cosponsored a national abortion ban that made no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.

Evers campaign: ICYMI: Obama highlights Gov. Tony Evers’ common sense leadership, calls out Tim Michels’ radical agenda

MADISON, Wis. — In case you missed it, former President Barack Obama rallied Wisconsin voters to get out the vote for Gov. Tony Evers in Milwaukee yesterday. Obama touted Gov.
