In the 1st district, Decision Desk HQ projecting a 15-point margin of victory for Republican Jimmy Petronas over Democrat Amy Vallemont. This is for the seat vacated by Congressman Matt Gaetz. Both races drawing a massive influx of Democrat cash and national attention as Democrats seek to expose discontent with the Trump administration in deep red districts.

How did Wisconsin's state Supreme Court election impact the GOP?
In Wisconsin, several news outlets, including Decision Desk HQ and others, projecting a Democrat victory in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race. Democrat Susan Crawford defeating GOP rival Brad Schimel in a hard-fought race that brought national attention and money. Millions poured in from George Soros for the Dems and Elon Musk, among others, for Mr. Schimel. The GOP loss means the state Supreme Court there is now poised to throw out the current GOP-drawn congressional map, which would cost Republicans two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Musk campaigned personally in Wisconsin for Mr. Schimel, but was demonized by Democrats who ran ads making Elon sound like their opponent.
Mr. Trump won in Wisconsin in November, but Republicans in swing states have had less luck winning without Trump on the ballot. President Trump announcing Liberation Day for America in a Rose Garden speech this afternoon. After weeks of buildup, Mr. Trump unveiling a new tariff policy aimed at reigniting U.S. manufacturing and reinvigorating the middle class, sparking a new golden age for America. Some economic experts remain skeptical, warning of potential market volatility and inflationary reactions.
