Wisconsin Supreme Court Win Energizes Democrats as GOP Faces Turnout Challenges

Democrats celebrate a decisive victory in Wisconsin while Republicans underperform in Florida, raising questions about voter dynamics ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Judge Susan Crawford secured a 10-point victory in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, maintaining a liberal majority and signaling strong Democratic voter engagement.
Republicans retained two congressional seats in Florida but saw significantly reduced margins compared to Trump's 2024 performance, highlighting turnout challenges.
Elon Musk's financial backing of the Republican candidate in Wisconsin became a polarizing factor, energizing Democratic voters and raising concerns among GOP strategists.
High-propensity, college-educated Democratic voters dominated turnout, while low-propensity Trump-aligned voters were less engaged in these off-year elections.
Both parties view these results as early indicators for the 2026 midterms, with Democrats optimistic about building momentum and Republicans reassessing their reliance on Trump and Musk.
