Congressional Republicans from Wisconsin are in agreement: Conservative activists’ efforts are wasting time and resources trying to oust the state’s Republican assembly speaker, Robin Vos, for not being loyal enough to Donald Trump.
“Every minute that someone spends trying to recall Robin Vos is a minute they can’t spend trying to get President Trump reelected,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden, who marched to the Capitol on Jan. 6 in support of Trump. “I don’t think it’s a good use of time. I don’t think it’s a good use of money.”
The group Recall Vos said this week that it filed signatures from more than 10,000 voters. On Tuesday, however, the state’s election commission said an initial review indicated the activists did not gather enough signatures in the district where Vos was last elected to trigger a recall election. The review is ongoing.
