MILWAUKEE (WMTV) – Multiple Wisconsin Republicans voiced their excitement Monday as former President Trump announced his choice for his running mate.
Madison delegate Terrence Wall and his dog Lambeau were soaking in the support for Donald Trump on Monday. Wall was excited that Trump picked Ohio Senator JD Vance.
“The opinion of the floor, it’s very clear they’re overwhelmingly positive on him as a VP choice,” Wall said.
Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker thinks choosing Vance was a smart choice.

“A Midwesterner, obviously happy being from the Midwest to have someone who gets the Big Ten and everything that’s about the middle of the country,” Walker said.
Walker said he thinks it added to the excitement of night one, and a feeling of unity after the attempted assassination of Trump at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend.
“I think the party really came together after weekend and people are just 100% united to help Trump again,” Wall said.
“We can have a fierce debate over the issues, but our opponents are not our enemies and I hope he talks about that,” Walker said.
Chairman of WisGOP Brian Schimming pointed to three positives- Vance’s youth, being from the Midwest and he has a good record in the Senate.

“I think he will do well in Wisconsin,” Schimming said. “It’s nice to have a Midwesterner on the ticket but I also can’t wait, I’ll be selling tickets to see the debate between him and Vice President Harris. Can’t wait for it.”

Democratic Party Chair of Wisconsin Ben Wikler released a statement, Vance as a vice presidential candidate makes the stakes of the election higher.
“Should Donald Trump win another term in the White House, there’s no question that J.D. Vance would put loyalty to Trump and the GOP’s extreme agenda over the country,” Wikler said. “In election after election, we’ve seen Wisconsinites reject the extreme, anti-freedom Trump-Vance agenda—and they’ll do it again this November.”
Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos talked about meeting Vance while he was on his book tour and said he enjoyed meeting him. Vos said he believes Wisconsin voters will relate to Vance when it comes to his Midwestern values.
“His story is one that really tells about the greatness of America, started from very humble beginnings, worked through law school, got to do all those, was an author, obviously got elected to the United States Senate, and now to be the potential vice president,” Vos said, “It’s the story of America; somebody from very humble beginnings working their way all the top of the political structure but never forgetting where he came from and that’s what’s going to be important in this race.”

Vos talked about his excitement for welcoming delegates from across the country to Milwaukee, and said he feels there is no question about support for former President Trump in the Badger State as he discussed unity within the Republican Party.
“I think we’re already really unified, people had already coalesced around President Trump way back in the spring,” Vos said. “The Party is unified, you heard it today as you went through the roll call. The state’s people are excited to vote for Donald Trump and more importantly they’re really excited to get rid of Joe Biden.”
Speaker Vos also said he feels confident the rest of the convention will go smoothly and he’s eager for his fellow Republicans to enjoy what Wisconsin has to offer.
