MADISON, Wis. — With his job approval ratings cratering, wildly unpopular Donald Trump has weighed in on Wisconsin’s 2026 gubernatorial race with an endorsement of his right-wing lackey, U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany. Trump bragged that Tiffany “… has always been at my side …” but A Better Wisconsin Together Deputy Director Mike Browne noted that while he’s right about Tiffany sticking by his side, Wisconsinites are the ones paying the price for it.
“We are all paying for this endorsement of Tom Tiffany from Donald Trump,” said Browne.
Browne noted just some of the specific ways that Tiffany’s blind loyalty to Trump and his disastrous agenda are hurting all Wisconsinites:
- Just weeks ago, Tiffany stood by Donald Trump and voted against against restoring the Affordable Care Act tax credits that have helped tens of thousands of Wisconsinites afford their health care;
- Last July, Tiffany was one of the deciding votes to pass Trump’s MAGA budget bill that cut Medicaid and food assistance for children, forced Planned Parenthood Wisconsin to pause abortion services, and could cause permanent hospital closures in the future, and exploded the federal deficit – all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires;
- Tiffany has touted Trump’s tariffs that are raising costs for working people on school supplies, cars, appliances, food, and even beer. He said of Trump’s tariffs, “… all of these things are really good things.” but according to recently released data, Wisconsin families paid nearly $1,600 in higher costs last year because of inflation;
- Tiffany has consistently, without question or demand for accountability, supported the Trump regime in their domestic deployment of federal forces into American cities. Just last week he voted for nearly $800 million more in funding for ICE and part of the DHS budget;
- Tiffany was willing to throw out the votes of millions of Wisconsinites in 2020 because he refused to accept that Trump overwhelmingly lost the election.
“Tiffany has put his selfish partisan interests before Wisconsinites so that he can keep his status as a Donald Trump loyalist. And it is costing the rest of us dearly,” concluded Browne.
