A top Republican who has been described as Wisconsin’s “shadow governor” is the latest GOP figure to abruptly retire during President Donald Trump’s second term.
Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, 57, said Thursday he will step down at the end of the 2026—years after President Donald Trump accused him of an election “cover-up” that led to him launching a probe into the election that returned no evidence of fraud or abuse.
Vos angered Trump, 79, with his initial refusal to investigate voter fraud in Wisconsin, a state he lost in 2020, but he eventually called on a former conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court justice to look into the matter. However, the probe only sowed conspiracy and chaos, so Vos fired him.
