Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Belle again.
So today, we're going to talk about more bad news for Trump's midterms.
There were two major elections that sent pretty big signals on Tuesday, but they were overshadowed due to Trump's promises of massive operations, ceasefires, deals, and ending a civilization.
The first one worth noting is Wisconsin.
The state Supreme Court race there gave liberals another little boost.
The Supreme Court elections in the state are technically nonpartisan, but everybody knows which party is backing which candidate.
The liberal candidate Chris Taylor beat the Republican-backed candidate by more than 20 points.
An absolute landslide.
It's worth remembering that Wisconsin went red in the last election.
This is another moment where we're seeing a double-digit swing from where voters were in 2024.
Bizarrely, that's not the worst news.
In fact, the worst news for Trump and the GOP comes from a race they won.
The special election for the seat held by Marjorie Taylor Greene until she left was as expected, a Republican victory.
But the devil is in the details.
In 2024, Trump won that seat by almost 37 points, and Green won it by about 29.
This is a deep, deep red district.
Or it was.
The Republican candidate won by about 12 points.
12 points.
That's a 25-point swing away from Trump.
