Trumpworld consultant Alex Bruesewitz announced he would not run for the seat of retiring Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) in a statement timed to former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of another Republican in the race.

Bruesewitz, a Palm Beach-area adviser in the former president’s orbit, had teased a campaign in his home state of Wisconsin for months. Little more than a week ago, he touted a poll showing him with a 20-point lead in a hypothetical primary matchup.
