Remiker says Dems can't count on wave carrying them to trifecta

State Chair Devin Remiker says Dems can’t be overconfident that a blue wave alone will carry them to a trifecta in the state Capitol for the first time in 16 years.

“There is always a sense that the pendulum swing is inevitable,” Remiker said in a new interview to preview this weekend’s Dem state convention. “In Wisconsin, particularly this year for our party, the opportunity that we have is ginormous. The chance to win a trifecta for the first time in almost two decades is closer than ever before, but also between us and that is an immense amount of hard work.”

As Dems prepare to gather in Madison, Remiker sees numerous signs they’re on the cusp of a good environment for reasons beyond Donald Trump’s struggles in the polls amid rising costs.

During a No Kings protest in March, for example, the party engaged many people in the crowd that it hadn’t been able to reach through phone calls or door knocks in the 2024 fall and 2025 spring campaigns, which included intense turnout efforts. He said that suggests the party has a unique opportunity to capitalize on that energy.
