yes

U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, the northern Wisconsin Republican running for governor in the Nov. 3 election, has rarely diverged from supporting President Donald Trump since Trump began his second term in January 2025.

UCLA/Voteview found Tiffany’s support for Trump at 93% in 2025 House of Representatives votes. 

Congressional Quarterly put it at 99%.

Two other ratings put Tiffany’s support at 100%.

The methodologies varied on the number of votes reviewed. 

In 2026, Tiffany’s votes supporting Trump included opposing a measure that would have blocked Trump from ordering more strikes on Iran. Tiffany also backed Trump in voting against a bill to provide aid to Ukraine and sanction Russia.

On statements, Tiffany diverged from Trump in August. Tiffany said he opposed moves to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America” and import cheaper ground beef. 

In September, he supported Trump’s proposed $5,000 “dividend.”
