MADISON (NBC 26) — Republican candidate for governor Josh Schoemann is dropping out of the GOP primary following President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Congressman Tom Tiffany.
In a statement released Tuesday, Schoemann congratulated Tiffany and his supporters and wished him success in November.
He said Wisconsin leaders should focus on serving the state's people rather than fighting within their own party.
At 3:53 p.m., spokesperson Emily Stuckey released a brief statement reacting to Schoemann exiting the race.
Schoemann had been running in the Republican primary for governor before Trump announced his endorsement of Tiffany, a move that quickly reshaped the race.
