Wisconsin GOP Leader Calls Impeachment of State Elections Administrator Unlikely Despite Pressure

GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos insist that an impeachment vote against state elections administrator Meagan Wolfe is not imminent, citing lack of consensus among Republicans and ongoing lawsuit aimed at preserving her position.

• Wisconsin's GOP Assembly leader, Robin Vos, has downplayed the pressure received from GOP lawmakers and former President Donald Trump to impeach the state's elections administrator, Meagan Wolfe, deeming it as 'unlikely'.
• In September, five Assembly Republicans introduced 15 articles of impeachment against Wolfe, a move that could result in her removal if the Assembly passed it and the Senate voted to convict. Despite this, Vos insists that an impeachment vote is not in the imminent future.
• An advertising campaign by an unnamed group of conspiracy theorists has threatened to unseat Vos if he doesn't proceed with Wolfe's impeachment, and Trump has publicly criticised him on his social media platform, Truth Social.
• Instead of moving forward with impeachment, Vos wants to wait to see how a lawsuit aimed at preserving Wolfe's position plays out. He has reiterated that Republicans are 'nowhere near a consensus' on the issue.
• The drive to impeach Wolfe stems from baseless claims surrounding the administration of the 2020 Presidential election which Trump narrowly lost in Wisconsin. Vos wishes to move the focus away from the 2020 election towards issues of greater importance to most Wisconsinites.
