WisGOP released a statement on the DNC, saying in part:
"For four days, Democrats peddled nothing but recycled platitudes devoid of substance to the American people. This convention was not democracy in action, but a forced coronation assembled by party bosses more interested in power for themselves than progress for the people."
"In their panicked rush to retire Joe Biden and anoint Kamala Harris, Democrats have neglected the concerns and questions of everyday Americans. Harris is the only major party candidate in modern American political history to have been nominated for the presidency without receiving a single vote in the primaries. She is also the only nominee in recent memory to have refused all requests for a sit-down interview or press conference in the lead-up to the convention. Whether it be the fear of scrutiny, a lack of confidence in their nominee, or callous indifference to the needs of the American people, Democrats have left voters with more questions than answers.
"The only thing we have learned from this convention is that Kamala Harris cannot separate herself from her legacy of record inflation, open borders, and turmoil overseas. Nor can she be trusted to turn around the fortunes of working families in Wisconsin.
"After four long years of regression and chaos, Americans deserve strong leadership rooted in common sense and patriotism. President Donald J. Trump and Senator J.D. Vance will restore prosperity, security, and purpose to the White House this November." - WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming.
