"Trump critic emerges as top contender for Wisconsin Senate seat"

Wisconsin Republicans are hoping that Rep. Mike Gallagher, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, will run for the state's Senate seat in 2024. Gallagher's stance on China policy and fundraising abilities make him a strong contender, but his break with Trump could be a hurdle in a potentially messy primary. If Gallagher chooses not to run, it could hurt the GOP's chances of claiming the Senate in 2024 and underscore the party's struggle to find a winning formula in a post-Trump world.
