On this week’s Capitol Chats podcast, Dane County Republican Party Chair Brandon Maly, 24, says Republican voters, even so-called “RINOs,” will likely rally behind Trump in the November general election as long as Republicans can clear the abortion hurdle. Maly says voters aren’t pleased with how the White House is handling many current issues, especially the economy.

Candidates’ unitemized donations — those from donors who have given $200 or less — are often seen as a sign of the success of their small-dollar operations. Hovde reported $159,468 in such contributions between his launch Feb. 21 and March 31, or just less than 1.7% of what he raised from individuals. By comparison, unitemized donations make up 35.7% of the more than $4.4 million that Baldwin raised from individuals.

Marquette Law School Poll Director Charles Franklin at a WisPolitics/Milwaukee Press Club luncheon said his biggest takeaway from the April presidential primary is that “there is still dissent in both parties.”
At a White House dinner for the prime minister of Japan, Gov. Tony Evers said Wisconsin is “going to make a difference between a win and a loss for the president.”
The Republican parties of Dane and Milwaukee counties have filed a complaint with the state Elections Commission accusing officials in the state’s two largest cities of failing to hire a sufficient number of GOP poll workers for the spring election. Milwaukee’s top election official called the complaints filed Wednesday misleading.
GOP lawmakers told the state Supreme Court they shouldn’t be on the hook for any of the expenses incurred by the consultants the liberal majority hired in the case, arguing the entire process was improper. Meanwhile, the Republican voters who intervened in the suit argued the court should cover the costs. And the Dem plaintiffs argued the Legislature alone should pick up the tab.
