MADISON (WKOW) — One of the most powerful Republicans in the state legislature said Democrats in Washington are trying to undo the elections by holding impeachment hearings against President Trump.

27 News asked Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) how undoing the election is different after Republicans passed lame-duck laws that take powers away from Gov. Tony Evers.

“We didn’t try to impeach him, he’s still the governor, he’s going to be the governor until the end of his term, and whether I like it or not, I have accepted the fact that he is our governor,” said Vos.

“Doesn’t mean that just because he’s the governor, he’s my boss or the dictator, we have to negotiate as equals.”

Vos added he doesn’t think the impeachment hearings will have any impact on the 2020 elections. Echoing his Republican colleague Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald who’s running for Congress.

A spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin believes as impeachment hearings continue and more details come out it will weigh in their favor next year.
