Trump Backers Face Deadline in 2nd Attempt to Oust Wisconsin Assembly Speaker

The first effort, prompted by Robin Vos’s refusal to decertify the result of the state’s 2020 presidential election, failed to gain enough signatures.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump say they have gathered enough signatures to force a recall election of Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

Mr. Vos is the longest-serving speaker in state history, having held the post since 2013. Yet he has faced criticism from fellow Republicans, including President Donald Trump, over his refusal to decertify Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential election.
