Gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels speaks Saturday, May 21, 2022, during the state Republican Party convention in Middleton.

MADISON - Former President Donald Trump's preferred candidate for governor won't say whether he would certify the next presidential election if Trump makes another run for the White House and again loses the key battleground state of Wisconsin.

Tim Michels, a wealthy construction executive endorsed by Trump, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the question is too hypothetical to answer at this point, adopting a similar position his Republican primary opponent Rebecca Kleefisch took when asked whether she would have certified the 2020 election.

DeathSantis was asked, if elected would he serve the full 4 years? DeSatan was silent. Asked 3 times and he refused to answer.
That obviously is a NO.

Michels is a nazi just like the rest of the MAGA cancer. He must be defeated!!

Dropped and they will have no input into the vote. The total of 270 electoral votes to win is then Dropped by however many electoral votes the state is allotted. Such bluster!
