Alex Bruesewitz, a political strategist and Trump ally, is considering a primary challenge against Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin following Gallagher’s vote against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
This move has sparked criticism from various figures, including Charlie Kirk and Bruesewitz himself.
Gallagher’s decision has led to calls for his removal from office, with Bruesewitz considering a congressional run.
Thank you, @StephenM for calling out RINO @RepGallagher’s BS statement.
The real reason he didn’t impeach Mayorkas is because he made a swampy back room deal (quid pro quo) to save his a**.
Gallagher betrayed the Republican Party and failed the American people for his own… https://t.co/KnFZhafZfa

“Mike Gallagher’s political career should be over. We will work with the patriots in Wisconsin’s 8th district to primary him. Just like Lankford, we have no room for these people who cover for traitors like Mayorkas,” Charlie Kirk wrote on X.
“I’m sure many of you have seen the reports that I am considering running for Congress in my home state of Wisconsin against @RepGallagher,” Bruesewitz wrote.
“I am NOT CONFIRMING a run at this time. I have NOT made a decision on this yet. But I will be taking a STRONG LOOK. Over the last 24 hours I have received dozens of texts and phone calls from Members of Congress and grassroots leaders across the country and back home in Wisconsin calling on me to run because Gallagher refused to impeach the disastrous Biden DHS Secretary,” he wrote.

“It is my hope that Rep. Gallagher reverses course and supports the will of his constituents and the American people, and impeaches Mayorkas! During this time period my main focus will continue to be on getting MAGA Republicans elected to the house and senate and OF COURSE @realDonaldTrump back in the White House!” Bruesewitz wrote.
The situation has also drawn attention from members of Congress and the Trump orbit.
Gallagher’s vote has faced severe criticism in Wisconsin, with local Republican leaders and conservative figures expressing their disapproval.
“I can no longer tolerate nor support someone who will not follow his constitutional duties and the wishes of his constituents,” Oconto County Republican chairman Ken Sikor wrote. “I am calling on all District 8 Chairs to unite and condemn this betrayal.”
“We respectfully call on Representative Gallagher to reconsider his stance on this important issue and to continue his vital efforts to secure our nation’s border,” Doug Reich said.
