I defined it really is not authorized under the Constitution. He has a unique viewpoint, and then he place out the tweet. So that is it."

I never know his opponent in the impending Key, but feel specific he will do properly if Speaker Vos does not move with gusto," the previous president mentioned on Truth Social. "Robin, really do not allow the voters of Wisconsin down!"
