Republicans had high hopes in his unsuccessful 2020 challenge against Fletcher of the 7th Congressional District. The race was one of Republicans’ top targets in the state that year. The seat was traditionally a Republican stronghold , flipping in 2018 in a blue wave in response to the Trump presidency. Hunt raised over $7 million that cycle.But Fletcher was able to match Republican zeal. A prolific fundraiser and quiet team player for House Democrats, she won the 2020 race by a 3-point margin.
Hunt hasn’t forgotten Trump’s help in fulfilling his political ambitions in 2020 and acts to return the favor. Hunt was effusive about Trump’s vice presidential pick, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio. Before joining the Senate, Vance was critical of Trump, calling him “reprehensible” and “cultural heroin.” But Hunt said he trusted Trump’s judgment.
Hunt said he was planning to do a similar event in Milwaukee, but the schedule of the convention got ahead of them. Though he said he would make the time if Trump requested.
