Congratulations to Bryan Steil on a wonderful win last night. You will be replacing a great guy in Paul Ryan, and your win in November will make the entire State of Wisconsin very proud. You have my complete and total Endorsement!

Trump did not endorse in either primary. But on Wednesday, he tweeted strong support for Senate GOP nominee Leah Vukmir and Bryan Steil, winner of the 1st Congressional District GOP primary.
Congratulations to Leah Vukmir of Wisconsin on your great win last night. You beat a very tough and good competitor and will make a fantastic Senator after winning in November against someone who has done very little. You have my complete and total Endorsement!
