Trump pushing ex-Rep. Duffy to run for Wisconsin governor
By Caroline Vakil - 10/16/21 11:53 AM EDT
Former President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was trying to persuade former Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) to enter Wisconsin’s 2022 gubernatorial race.
“Working hard to get very popular and capable Former Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin to run for Governor. He would be fantastic!” Trump said in a statement issued through his Save America PAC.
Duffy, 50, served four terms in the House before deciding to resign in 2019 and not run for reelection to a fifth term in 2020.
While in Congress, he was a frequent presence on cable news. His wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, is also a well-known conservative voice on cable who is a contributor to Fox News. Both initially made national names on MTV's "Real World."
Both have spoken up for Trump in the past, and Trump was ebullient in singing their praises in his missive to supporters and the media.
