Trump presses Vos to decertify Wisconsin vote, threatens primary challenge

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Trump called him in the days before July 19, 2022, pressing him to decertify the state's 2020 presidential result in the wake of the state Supreme Court's drop-box ruling; Vos said he told Trump the move was unconstitutional. That Tuesday evening, Trump posted on Truth Social telling Vos "this is not a time for him to hide, but a time to act" and writing that he did not know Vos's primary opponent but "feel[s] certain he will do well if Speaker Vos doesn't move with gusto" — an implicit threat over Vos's refusal to pursue decertification. Trump separately called Vos "a long time professional RINO" for declining to act on the ruling. Vos went on to face, and narrowly defeat, a Trump-backed primary challenger weeks later.

“So what's Speaker Robin Vos doing on the Great Wisconsin Supreme Court Ruling declaring hundreds of thousands of Drop Box votes to be illegal? This is not a time for him to hide, but a time to act!” Quote verified against source
