Michael Alfonso, the 26-year-old son-in-law of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, wins the Republican primary for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District seat currently held by Duffy. Multiple outlets report that Decision Desk HQ projects Alfonso will take the nomination, defeating a crowded field.
Both sources describe Alfonso as a political newcomer and note that he is backed by President Donald Trump and supported by Duffy, who previously represented the district for years before leaving the seat for his current administration role. While Fox News emphasizes the crowded nature of the primary race and Alfonso’s victory margin broadly, The Hill highlights the projection and the role of Trump and Duffy’s influence in helping Alfonso secure the nomination. Neither source provides additional vote counts or specific competitors’ outcomes beyond the overall result.
