Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2026
Remarks During a Telerally for Wisconsin Republican Congressional Candidate Michael Alfonso
August 10, 2026
Well, thank you, Michael, very much. And hello to Wisconsin. And, no, there was no recording. I did it live last time, and I'm doing it live this time.
But there's an incredibly important primary election tomorrow in your State. If you haven't already gone out and voted, make sure that you get out and vote tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11, for Michael Alfonso, a fantastic young guy. He's going to be a star in Washington and a star representing Wisconsin's Seventh congressional district.
To find your voting locations, in case you need that, I'm asking you to go right now to swampthevoteUSA.com. They'll give you all the information you need, if you need any.
But Michael is an "America first" patriot who's—who has my complete and total endorsement, 100 percent, as well as the endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson and many great Wisconsin Republicans, including Representatives—and these are great warriors: Derrick Van Orden, Tony Wied, Bryan Steil, and Scott Fitzgerald.
And as we said before, Michael is a star, and he's going to never let you down. I know him, and he's—I know his family, like your father-in-law, who's the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, who was a Congressman and—right in that area, and he was a great one. And his mother-in-law is fantastic, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and she was—she's done so great on television. She's a television star.
But the thing they care about right now is Michael winning, and he will win.
As your Congressman, Michael will keep your taxes low and slash job-killing regulation in Wisconsin. [Inaudible]—have, bringing record numbers in already, and Wisconsin small businesses and farmers, including your world-famous dairy farmers.
He'll fight to—just fight like can be for the parents' rights where they've taken your rights away, but we've gotten them back for you, including, very importantly, school choice.
And he'll always protect your Second Amendment and keep it safe. And we want to have—we have to have that Second Amendment. And I will tell you, nobody has fought like I have, and we've kept it going, and it has not been easy. It has not been an easy one. But Michael will help me a lot.
And Michael will vote for strong borders. We have the strongest borders in the history of our country, 15 months where nobody—and this is done by Democrat—the Democrat people they were the ones on this board or this group that give you the numbers—it's—nobody has come into—15 months, and zero people have come in illegally through our southern border.
And he'll help us continue getting the gang members and the drug dealers and illegal alien criminals out of our community. He'll vote to fully fund our great military. He's very much into the military and law enforcement and our amazing vets, the heroes of ICE, Border Patrol. He is somebody that just believes in very strong, very powerful law enforcement—[inaudible].
But perhaps—[inaudible]—of all, as the grandson of a refugee from communist Cuba, Michael will fight against the—I call them "Dumocrats." It's just an—it's an expression because of their bad policy. It's just incredible. You take the "e" out, you replace it with the "u." It's very simple.
But the "Dumocrat" Communists in Congress, they are really—what they're doing, these are lunatics who want to destroy our country. You have one running for your Governor, by the way, and this is—wanting to get rid of Thanksgiving. She wants to get rid of Thanksgiving. That's nice. She's taken that back, but very half-heartedly. She's running against Tom Tiffany, and Tom Tiffany should—I—think he's going to be a great. I think he'll be a great Governor.
But communism is the greatest threat to our country in history, frankly, including even World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, so many other things. I think the threat of what's going on right now is the greatest threat to our country.
So the Democrats want to elect Communists, and Michael Alfonso wants to defend the America we love. That's—[inaudible]. One is for communism, and the other is for defending our country and making America great again, which we've been able to do very quickly.
But, once again, get out and vote for Michael Alfonso tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11.
And for more information on voting hours and polling locations—it's pretty much standard stuff all over the country—but just go to swampthevoteUSA.com.
So tomorrow morning go out and vote. Michael will never let you down. It's true with his family. It's true with him. He will never ever let you down.
So thank you, Wisconsin, and have a great voting day tomorrow. And I'll see you all soon. Michael, take it away.
