Eric Toney, a district attorney looking to unseat Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul, has a more complicated relationship with Trump than other Republicans running statewide in Wisconsin.
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse political scientist Anthony Chergosky said Toney barely pulled through the primary and his choice to distance himself from Trump carries risk.and not signaling support could cost Toney money from party donors, Chergosky said. Toney also could create a major rift with Michels and make it harder for the Republicans to present a unified front, Chergosky said.
Toney's views on Trump — whatever they are by 2024 — could play a crucial role in whether Trump wins Wisconsin if he runs again. Toney has taken a firmer stand against Trump's arguments than Michels or Johnson. He told AP there was no widespread fraud that tipped the 2020 election and that he doesn’t support decertifying Biden’s win in Wisconsin because it’s legally impossible.
