Republicans in Wisconsin will pick their gubernatorial candidate Tuesday night, setting up one of the most important and closely contested general elections ...

And two reach seats for Republicans in Connecticut — to challenge Democratic Reps. Jahana Hayes and Joe Courtney — have no-drama, unopposed primaries Tuesday as well. She was able to beat back a well-funded primary challenger by 20 points in 2020. Trump also targeted Wisconsin state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, backing a primary challenger running against one of the most influential state legislative leaders in the country. Trump also squared off with the local GOP in Connecticut’s Senate race — and won. Meanwhile, Vermont Democrats are getting ready to send a woman to Congress for the first time in state history. Michels will face Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in November, in what is expected to be a highly competitive governor race in the battleground state. Last week, Kansas voters overwhelmingly rejected a state constitutional amendment that would have cleared the way for new abortion restrictions there. She will be heavily favored in November. Kleefisch was seen as an early favorite for the GOP nod until Michels’ late entry into the race. Wade era, which appears to show Democrats getting a boost even as Republicans held the seat. But it remains an open question how strongly voters will consider abortion as they make their picks for elected offices. Trump has been angered by Vos’ refusal to push for “decertifying” the 2020 election results — a legally impossible notion that has nevertheless gained traction on the right — even as Vos has led the state legislature in funding an investigation into the state’s elections.

The Republican gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin initially appeared to be Rebecca Kleefisch's for the taking.

“He hasn’t been here for Covid. He hasn’t been here for Kenosha” — where riots broke out in August 2020 following the shooting of an unarmed Black man by a white police officer — she said. When undecided voters were asked whom they were leaning toward, Kleefisch had 41% support, while Michels had 39%. A Marquette University Law School poll from June, after Trump’s endorsement, found Michels leading Kleefisch by 27% to 26% — also within the margin of error — among Republican voters and independents who said they’ll vote in the GOP primary. Strategists warn that the prolonged fight threatens to divide Republicans heading into a general election for what many within the party see as a very winnable seat. If we come out of this, regardless of who wins, damaged and toxic and polarized, it’s going to help Evers.” An Emerson College Poll released Saturday found Kleefisch with the support of 36% of Republican primary voters, compared to 34% for Michels — within the margin of sampling error. Michels owns a home in Connecticut, where he lives part of the year. She also nodded heavily to the Walker-Kleefisch record — including legislation still popular among conservative voters here that effectively eliminated collective bargaining rights for most public employees and that allowed people to carry concealed weapons — while pointing out that Michels doesn’t have one at all. The outcome of the general election will have implications for abortion rights and education, as well as elections. The next day, Michels reversed course, vowing to back Trump if he ran again. Now, as voters head to the polls Tuesday in this pivotal battleground state, the race has turned into a dogfight. It’s all part of the final sprint in an intensely watched and close governor’s race that will determine who gets the chance to try to unseat Gov. Tony Evers, one of the most vulnerable Democratic governors in the country. The Republicans are locked in a tight race, according to the latest polling.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Tim Michels, a wealthy businessman endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won the Republican primary for Wisconsin governor on ...

He lost the 2004 Senate race to Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold, and has been a major donor to GOP politicians. Both Michels and Kleefisch said overturning the 2020 election results was not a priority. The 2020 outcome has been upheld in two partial recounts, a nonpartisan audit, a review by a conservative law firm and multiple lawsuits. And Minnesota Republicans chose Dr. Scott Jensen, a COVID-19 vaccine skeptic endorsed by the state GOP, to face Gov. Tim Walz. Tuesday’s outcomes have far-reaching consequences beyond Wisconsin, a state that is almost evenly split between Republicans and Democrats and where 2022 will be seen as a bellwether for the 2024 presidential race. But the most-watched races were in Wisconsin, where Trump has kept up his pressure campaign to cancel Biden’s 2020 victory. The results Tuesday added to Trump’s record of wins, following victories for his preferred candidates last week in closely watched races for governor and Senate in Arizona. Back in Wisconsin, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes won the Democratic nomination to face Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters. Republican National Committee member Leora Levy, whom Trump endorsed last week, will face two-term Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal after she defeated former state House Minority Leader Themis Klarides, who had support from the state party. Trump endorsed Adam Steen after Vos rejected the former president’s pressure to decertify the 2020 results. Meanwhile, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who supported Trump’s second impeachment, conceded defeat in her Washington state congressional district after being overtaken in late vote tallies by a GOP challenger endorsed by the former president. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed.
