Now, there was also a measure on the ballot to enshrine a voter identification requirement into the state's constitution, and conservatives were pleased that that passed very easily.

Well, it means that the court has remained in liberal control. The court leaned conservative for years, but a 2023 election flipped it to a 4-3 liberal majority. That election was largely impacted by the left's push to make abortion the central issue there right after Roe v. Wade was overturned. With Crawford's win, the court sustains its four liberal justices and three conservative justices.

So the main issue was definitely congressional redistricting, and to a lesser extent, abortion came into play. On redistricting, the liberal-leaning court tossed GOP-drawn maps and adopted new ones drawn by Democrat Governor Tony Evers. That helped Democrats flip a congressional seat in 2024.

Conservatives were hoping to get back control of those maps with a shimmel in, but now that Crawford has won the seat, the court will likely strike down the Republican maps again, giving Democrats a greater likelihood of winning more seats in the state.

Elon Musk, who poured $20 million into this race backing the conservative, he discussed the national implications of this race yesterday on Fox News.

Regarding abortion, Wisconsin had a trigger law on the books after Roe v. Wade was overturned that outlawed most abortions. That's been a legal battle in this state, and its Supreme Court will likely weigh in on that issue. So Democrats leaned in hard on that abortion messaging.

So early estimates say that more than $100 million was poured into this election, making it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. Billionaires George Soros for Crawford and Musk for Schimel were key contributors.

Right, Republican Randy Fine won a seat in Florida's 6th District. That spot was vacated by Mike Waltz after he was tapped by Trump for National Security Advisor. And Republican Jimmy Petronas won Matt Gaetz's old seat in the 1st District. Gaetz was briefly nominated by Trump for Attorney General before he resigned from Congress.

Those wins were scored in red districts, but this is still really good news for the GOP, who have a slim majority in the House. Democrats significantly outspent Republicans in both races, and both Republicans still won by double digits. Still, legacy media tried to paint these GOP victories as wins for Democrats. Here's CNN's Jake Tapper.

Now, Trump nominated a number of congressional Republicans to his cabinet, which was kind of a risky move with such a narrow majority in the House. In fact, Trump just recently withdrew New York Representative Elise Stefanik as a nominee for ambassador to the United Nations because of that tight majority. Just wasn't worth the risk for Trump.
