Wisconsin: “A Republican base focused on the 2020 election turns on Assembly Speaker Robin Vos”

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

Robin Vos is facing calls to step off the tight rope he has been on for more than a year navigating a Republican base that wants much more scrutiny from him of the 2020 election and the reality of President Donald Trump’s loss. 

A growing number of Republicans outside of the Wisconsin State Capitol are furious with the Assembly Speaker and are demanding that he resign from his leadership position after he punished Rep. Timothy Ramthun over false claims about the 2020 election — a move that helped catapult the Fond du Lac County lawmaker to a campaign for governor.

The discipline of Ramthun has enraged elements of the party faithful who already believed the powerful Republican in the state Capitol is refusing to do everything he can to litigate the last presidential election and see his actions thus far as inadequate at best and purposefully stifling at worst. 

And now, two of the three top Republican campaigns for governor are entirely focused on ousting Vos.
