CBS 58

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann is ending his campaign for Wisconsin governor, just one day after President Trump endorsed Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany.

In a statement Wednesday, Schoemann said:

"First, I want to give glory to God for His grace and blessing in all circumstances. I want to congratulate Congressman Tiffany and his supporters for receiving President Trump’s endorsement. I wish Tom great success in November. If we focus on the people of Wisconsin rather than fighting with one another, we can make Wisconsin the place to be, not just be from. I am proud of the campaign we ran and want to give my sincere thanks to my family and supporters who believe in our message. Our fight to reclaim Wisconsin will go on."

Schoemann was the only other Republican to declare a campaign in the governor's race. 

Wisconsin's general election takes place Nov. 3.
