Ex-Trump chief of staff Priebus mulling Wisconsin governor bid


BY REID WILSON - 02/19/21 07:58 AM EST

Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus is considering a run for governor of Wisconsin in 2022. A source familiar with Priebus’s thinking confirmed to The Hill on Friday that Priebus had begun conversations with top Wisconsin Republicans about the prospects of challenging Gov. Tony Evers (D) next year. The source characterized the conversations as preliminary.

Politico first reported Priebus was considering the race.

Priebus got his start in GOP politics as the chairman of a congressional district organization. He later became chairman of the Wisconsin state Republican Party, then won election as chairman of the Republican National Committee. After Donald Trump won the presidency, Priebus became his first White House chief of staff.

Trump fired Priebus in July 2017, though Priebus stayed close to the former president through his term. He is also a close ally of top Wisconsin Republicans former House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Gov. Scott Walker.

The GOP leadership still doesn't get it, most of the country is traumatized by Trump, his ex aides and allies aren't going to be winning elections. He is toxic.

The only thing these small government conservatives can do is work for the government they say they hate.
