In Wisconsin, citizens cast their votes in what was the most expensive judicial race in American history. Billionaires such as Elon Musk and George Soros set their sights on the state, aiming to alter the balance of power in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. In the end, despite the efforts of Musk and other prominent influencers on the Right, liberal judge Susan Crawford won the election.

From The Daily Wire:

Crawford defeated conservative candidate Brad Schimel, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump and backed by Trump’s top donor, Elon Musk.

Schimel’s campaign was boosted by Musk and his America PAC, while Crawford was supported by a cadre of leftist billionaires like George Soros and Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker. Before becoming a judge, Crawford worked as a lawyer for Planned Parenthood and filed lawsuits to block the state’s voter ID laws, earning her a label as “dangerously liberal” by the Wisconsin Republican Party.

Both parties saw the race as pivotal for the United States House of Representatives as Democrats are now expected to challenge Wisconsin’s congressional maps since Crawford’s victory has allowed liberal justices on the court to maintain a 4-3 majority. Leftist activists hope that the court will strike down Wisconsin’s current congressional maps and mandate election maps more favorable to Democrats.

Conservatives in Wisconsin did not have an entirely bad night though. Voters also managed to enshrine an existing voter ID law into the state’s constitution. In a Truth Social post, President Trump called the result “a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT.”

From Fox News:

Wisconsin will enshrine the state’s voter ID law in the state constitution after voters approved the proposal on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press’ vote call at 9:48 p.m. EST.

The Badger State already requires that voters have photo ID in order to participate at the polls, but that law has now been elevated to a constitutional amendment.

The measure was placed on the ballot by the Republican-controlled legislature in an effort to strengthen election security.

It also protects the law from potentially being overturned in court when Democrats are in control, as constitutional amendments have to be approved in two legislative sessions and by a statewide popular vote.

Meanwhile, Florida had its own elections. The state held two special elections to replace former Representatives Mike Waltz and Matt Gaetz. Republicans won both of these elections.

From AP:

Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won special elections Tuesday in two Florida congressional districts, bolstered by President Donald Trump’s endorsement to fill vacant seats in reliably Republican strongholds.

Patronis, the state’s chief financial officer, fended off a challenge from Democrat Gay Valimont even though she far outraised and outspent him. He will fill the northwest Florida 1st District seat vacated by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was chosen to be Trump’s attorney general but withdrew from consideration amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.

In north Florida’s 6th District, Fine won against Democratic challenger Josh Weil for a seat vacated by Mike Waltz when he was tapped to become Trump’s national security adviser.

The win bolsters Republicans’ margin to 220-213 in the House of Representatives.

Overall, election results were mixed. While Republicans expanded their majority in the House in Florida, they may lose that majority in 2026 thanks to redistricting enabled by Wisconsin’s newest Supreme Court judge.

As some mourn and some celebrate these results, let’s continue to pray that God’s will is done through these new elected leaders.
