Overview

• The GOP majority leader in the Wisconsin Assembly has dismissed the Republican attempt to impeach the state's nonpartisan top elections official, Meagan Wolfe, over her handling of the 2020 election.
• State Rep. Janel Brandtjen introduced a resolution to impeach Wolfe in the Assembly, but as of Thursday, it had only five co-sponsors and would require 50 votes to pass.
• Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August said Brandtjen's proposal would not be voted on because it doesn't have enough support to get out of committee or be approved by a majority of the Assembly.
• Even as the impeachment effort stalls, Republicans have called for Wolfe to be replaced. However, Wolfe has said she will remain in her post at least through the November election.
• Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is being targeted for recall by supporters of former President Donald Trump, in part over his opposition to the Wolfe impeachment.
