The decision to re -elect the governor of Tony Evepers is waving on the horizon of the Wisconsin
In one of the states of the battlefield divided in the country, there is one big question in the minds of both parties: Will the state governor Tony Evepers a third term next year will?
The answer will have dire consequences in Wisconsin, where one of the five rulers -controlled rulers won the seizure of 2026 in the United States, President Donald Trump won last year.
Evars, 73, said that he will announce whether he would go again after he reached a budget deal with Republicans who control both rooms of the legislature. But with The agreement quickly It signed and sealed and delivered it last weekSome Democrats in Wisconsin grow their patience for his decision.
“I would like to see a decision, and we hope it will be sooner, not later, because I believe that we have a lot of elections that we need to win and focus on,” Democratic Senator Kelda Ruiz, who fought against Evepers in the Democratic Primary of Democracy 2018, ” He said last month. “If the ruler takes a decision, I hope it will be soon.”
One of the dynamic suspension decision is that Evars could not have to deal with the cruel legislative council completely controlled by Republicans, as he did throughout his term. The Supreme Court’s decision in Wisconsin for the year 2023 led to the newly installed liberal weapons maps to redrawing the amazing maps of the state, while giving democracy a A more realistic path To control the State Association or the Senate in 2026.
“I am trying to stay for another period and may have one, if not both, in the lower rooms, in exchange for trying to bargain with the Republicans and pay the veto every time. “
Some Democrats also feel that Evars, taking advantage of job jobs, still represents the best shot for the party in winning the ruling elections for the next year.
“There is no doubt that Evepers is the most equipped to win next year,” said Joe Zebeki, a Milwoki -based democratic strategy, who ranked second in last month to be the leader of the Wisconsin Democratic Party. “Why do we not want to have a government democratic ruler who is the most popular politician in the state, loved by the democratic base. This makes all this meaning in the world while it will be a good political environment for Democrats.”
But others I warn Democrats should not continue to rely on the candidates in the seventeen and they must erase the way for new voices, especially after their experience with the then Joe Biden in 2024.
Evars’s allies have returned to this narration, referring to the last ballot.
One of the democratic outlets in Wisconsin added, “This does not match what we hear from the Democrats and from the Market survey.”
This indicates a The Law Faculty of Marquit University has been released by the registered voters in Wisconsin Last month, Democrats show that the Democrats remain widely supportive of Evars again – even when public voters in the purple state remain more divided.
The poll found that 83 % of the Democrats said they supported Evepers requesting a third term. This poll also found that 42 % of all registered voters said they wanted to run again, compared to 55 % who said they did not. The respondents indicated that this support level is still strong with historical standards. In 2016, before the Republican Governor Scott Walker’s decision to run for a third period, the same poll found that only 36 % of registered voters wanted to run for the third time, compared to 61 % who did not. Walker ran again in 2018 and lost to Evepers.
Evepers approval in the poll – 48 % of the voters said that they had agreed to his job performance, compared to 46 % who said they were not in line with the levels he saw in this poll during his position in his position in the state of swing.
Wait for the wings
If Evens rejects at the end, there are many Democrats who can seek to replace it, including Prosecutor Josh Cole, Governor Sarah Rodriguez, Secretary of State Sarah Jodlawsky, CEO of Milwoki Province, David Crul, and Milwoki, mayor of Johnson.
But some Democrats in Wisconsin expressed concern that Evars’s exit could lead to an expensive and disagreement primary.
“This will be a big room if he does not run. It might be chaotic,” said Democratic Overlooking the awareness of Evars’s thinking.
Representatives of the political operations of Rodriguez and Kraouli did not respond to the questions.
“The mayor has a deep respect for that leadership and hopes that the ruler will choose to run again,” Johnson Thalad Nation said in an email message.
Evars’s decision is unlikely to have a lot of influence on those who decide to run for Republican nomination. Currently, the only candidate announced in the race is Josh Shuimane, CEO of the province in Washington Province, a foreign area northwest of Milwaukee.
also Bid weight Is businessman Eric Hovidi, who lost with the difficulty of a 2024 Senate race in the United States to Democrat Tami Baldwin, and Tim Michels, who lost to Evepers in 2022. American MP Tom Tiffany also Unlike campaign.
The strategists on both sides said that the decision to wait even after reaching an agreement in the budget with legislators in the state, the ruler can have an opportunity to leave a high note, or help build his case for a third term.
Evers got most of what he wanted. Now he is in a position to say, “I have done what I should do. I have regained UW [the University of Wisconsin system]I got a child care financing, we have saved children in Wisconsin. “We have a budget for children – I think this gives him out. He can go out at the forefront,” said Brandon Schulz, a Republican strategic expert in Wisconsin.
Evars’s allies said that the delay in his announcement had provided him with the utmost financial lever during budget discussions with Republicans.
“I think it may have made his ability to work with Republicans in the legislative body to reach what appears to be a reasonable budget,” Zebeki said.
In response to questions about whether the ruler will announce his decision not now after concluding the state budget, Evepers, Sam Rukir, said only that “the ruler was clear that he would not make a decision in 2026 until the budget process ends.”
However, some Democrats said that the possibilities of a more friendly legislative body, Evars poll numbers and the ability to avoid everyone who broke in one direction.
“I think he has decided, and I think he will run,” Zebeki said. “If you have to bet on money today, this is where we are.”
