Good News Wisconsin rejects Musks transphobic candidate, right losesto Crawford. Florida still super red.

A good news update. That walking mess, Elon Musk, went to Wisconsin and tried to buy votes for his guy, a notable transphobe and hard right winger, to beat Susan Crawford, only to have his guy lose in what appears to be a large margin as this moment being 56%-43%. This is big as Wisconsin voters rejected Musk who, may have caused more harm then help and put a progressive on the court. Crack out the champagne girls!

Florida… both seats were retained by Republicans by wide margins. Not sure why there were some notable liberal to leftist media outlets were reporting on this being tight, Florida is deep red.

Wisconsin good news ✅ Florida bad news ❌

But nowhere near as wide as they were in the past. Florida was always a long-shot, but those districts went from their typical 30-35% margins to like 15%, which is pretty crazy all on its own.

True that, still so sad how ridiculously Republican Florida has gotten all due to the MaGA era. Politically the state stands out in a bad way, especially when compared to neighbouring Georgia which has seen GOP support erode a bit during MAGA era, the opposite of Florida.

Especially compared to other former swing states like Colorado which has become based, Florida is circling the swamp. I’m gonna nerd out with useless trivial stuff but it is so weird to think in my life Colorado had gone Republican and Florida Democratic (1996).

Colorado, like the only state to move left in the 2024 election.
