Trump endorses Florida man and son-in-law of Sean Doofus for Wisconsin's 7th CD

 

Headline:  Up North News, 1/28/2026

Pat Kreitlow reports:

If a son-in-law qualifies for the term “nepo-baby,” then voters up north have the option of electing their first one to congress, based on President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Michael Alfonso, the 25-year-old son-in-law of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. 

Working against Alfonso, however, isn’t simply his youth and inexperience but also his voting history. Reports show he has an active voter record in Florida and cast a ballot there in the 2024 presidential election. He also reportedly has an inactive registration in Madison from his college days and an active registration record in Hayward, tied to the home of his wife’s parents, though he has never voted there. [emphasis added] 

Despite the lack of active residency, employment, or political activity in the 7th Congressional District, Trump endorsed Alfonso in a social media post Tuesday night, which Alfonso quickly shared.

According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of 'nepo baby' as in a person who gains success or opportunities through familial connections, occurred in 1992.

Other coinages from the same year include:

1. arm candy
2. buzzkill
3. man cave
4. meh
5. skeezy
6. throw shade
