Evidence (2024-07-19): A Texas-based wealth management firm has apologised for a clerical error that gave the appearance it took a massive short position on shares in Donald Trump’s social media company just before Saturday’s assassination attempt. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing by Austin Private Wealth dated July 12 showed the firm had shorted 12 million shares in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) via a put option, sparking frenzied conspiracy theories after the unusual trade was highlighted by a number of social media users. [...] "The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error," Austin Private Wealth said in a statement on Wednesday.

Evidence (2022-08-10): Robin Vos, the Republican speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, narrowly survived a primary challenge Tuesday after he became the target of former President Donald Trump's ire, The Associated Press projected.

Evidence (2024-08-07): Assembly Speaker Robin Vos speaks during a 2022 news conference at the state Capitol. [...] Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is no fool. He knows that he could not be elected governor of Wisconsin. Yet Vos desperately wants to assume the powers of the governor. [...] Vos, who was elected by just one of the state’s 99 Assembly districts and leads a majority that relies on gerrymandered legislative districts to maintain power, wants to be able to cut backroom deals that steer the money in directions favored by legislative insiders and campaign donors. That will waste money, undermine public services and introduce cronyism and favoritism into the process of allocating taxpayer dollars.

Evidence (2021-09-15): Vos first won elected office in 1994, the Republican wave election that gave the GOP control of Congress during Bill Clinton’s first term as president. Vos won a seat on the county board, where he stayed for 10 years before running for and winning his Assembly seat in 2004. [...] Vos became the Assembly speaker after the 2012 election. His caucus ended up with 61 percent of the Assembly seats while getting fewer than half of the votes cast in Assembly races that year. It was the first time the state used Republican-drawn legislative maps that Evers and other Democrats say give Republicans an unfair advantage. A professor working for Republicans to draft the map concluded that Democrats would have to win 54 percent of the statewide vote to take the majority in the Assembly. [...] But the Cheesehead Revolution turned out to be short-lived. After the 2018 election, Priebus and Ryan had left the federal government and, most importantly for Vos, Walker lost his bid for a third term as governor.

Vos further angered Trump supporters when he did not back a plan to impeach Meagan Wolfe, the state’s top elections official.

He has been a member of the Assembly since 2005,[1] representing most of the southern half of Racine County.[2] Vos was also president of the National Conference of State Legislatures.[3] [...] Vos has been described as having a significant role in obstructing Governor Tony Evers.[4] After Evers, the Democratic nominee, won the 2018 Wisconsin gubernatorial election, defeating incumbent governor Scott Walker, Vos was the first public official to propose curbing the incoming governor's powers.[6] He claimed it was to restore a balance of power between the governor and the legislature, despite having previously voted to expand gubernatorial power.[37][38] Vos also said the changes were intended to lock in laws passed by Republicans and to prevent the incoming Democratic administration from fulfilling its campaign pledges, particularly a pledge to withdraw Wisconsin from a lawsuit seeking to overturn the federal Affordable Care Act.[39] The Republican-led legislature was called into a December lame duck session and passed laws decreasing the powers of the incoming governor, limiting early voting, and giving the legislature more control. Walker then signed the bills.[40]

Evidence (2022-03-03): Angered over COVID-19 mandates, distrust of Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election and what he sees as overreaches of government authority, a Republican is looking to unseat Assembly Speaker Robin Vos in a rare Republican primary in District 63. And the challenger is situating himself with those who have gone beyond Vos to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election. [...] Vos isn’t afraid of losing his seat.

[...] They needed 6,850 valid signatures to force a recall election in the district where Vos was elected to serve.

Evidence (2024-01-10): Vos held on with 51.3 percent of the vote in the 63rd Assembly District, but it was the closest call of his political life.

[...] Steen called his campaign against Vos a "David and Goliath race," and thanked Trump for his endorsement and support during the campaign. He said the results showed voters were concerned with election integrity. [...] Trump has been in a one-sided feud with Vos since he lost to President Joe Biden in Wisconsin.

Evidence (2018-11-17): Yet Republicans won 63 of the 99 Assembly seats, just one less than their pre-election majority. That marks an increase in the pro-Republican "efficiency gap" from about 10 percent in 2016 to almost 15 percent this year. Democrats also won or are leading in elections for all of Wisconsin's statewide offices, showing voter support for their candidates in races that are not affected by gerrymandering. Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos called it a "faulty premise" to say that Republicans' legislative majority is due to gerrymandering. [...] Wisconsin Progress, an organization that recruits and trains liberal candidates, said 30 of the 31 Democratic candidates it backed in Republican-held Assembly districts ended up losing in the Nov. 6 elections.

Evidence (2022-04-15): Wisconsin has been called the most gerrymandered state in the country for good reason. In 2018, for example, Democrats received 54 percent of the popular vote for the state Assembly and won just 36 percent of the seats. Not great. [...] […] Democrats had a good year in Wisconsin in 2018, with big wins up and down the ballot. As we discussed at the time, Wisconsin voters elected a Democratic governor, re-elected a Democratic U.S. senator, re-elected a Democratic secretary of state, and elected a Democratic state attorney general. Even in the state legislature, Democratic candidates easily won the most votes. [...] "Speaker Robin Vos has a decision to make!" Trump said. "Does Wisconsin RECLAIM the Electors, turn over the Election to the actual winner (by a lot!), or sit back and do nothing as our Country continues to go to HELL?" He referenced a legally impossible resolution to overturn the election results that sounded like the one pushed by State Rep. Tim Ramthun (R), who’s also a GOP candidate for governor.

Evidence (2021-06-28): WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. — It could have upended the Wisconsin Republican Party’s annual convention, given Donald Trump’s hold on the GOP. Just as the state party gathered this past weekend, Trump issued a statement tearing into the state Assembly speaker, Robin Vos, and two other Republican lawmakers for doing too little to promote his election conspiracies. [...] Today, the state party has been set back. After cresting in 2016, with Trump’s upset of Hillary Clinton, Republicans here lost the governorship in 2018, then saw the state flip to Joe Biden two years later. Johnson, the state’s top elected Republican, has not yet said if he’ll run for reelection (On Saturday, he told reporters he won’t announce a decision for "quite some time.") [...] On politics, however, his record was mixed. In November, Wisconsin served as a blaring example of Trump’s difficulties in the suburbs, with the former president juicing turnout in rural areas but underperforming in metro areas. Convention-goers repeatedly mentioned how Republicans running in the state’s five Republican-held House seats outperformed Trump in their districts.
