Democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has come out against efforts to disqualify former president and Republican 2024 candidate Donald Trump from the ballot in 2024 and is warning his fellow Democrat, President Joe Biden, to campaign more frequently in the state.

Political activists opposed to President Trump have argued that under an interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the former president should be regarded as an insurrectionist over the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and therefore is disqualified from holding office in the future. President Trump and his allies have disputed the degree to which he should be blamed for the Capitol breach and have challenged efforts to have him disqualified from returning to the White House.
