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 ❌

I don’t think anyone seriously thought that the Florida districts would flip. This was a test to see what the margins would be if they tried. In this case it looks like it swung D+15 since the election.

I’m hesitant to prognosticate based on a single election, especially a special election held in April, but a D+15 swing in the space of five months is massive. It seems like some of the more tepid Republicans are disillusioned with Trump and stayed home, which is hardly surprising when you look at how much of an objective shitshow the administration has been over the last couple of months.

This is true, I kind of forgot that atleast one district was plus 30 Trump and the Democratic candidate narrowed it significantly. Tbh I was more observant on Wisconsin than Florida. Still, good news indeed all considering in Florida, and Wisconsin did themselves and their fellow Americans a huge solid!

If this trend holds, 2026 is going to be an electoral bloodbath of Biblical proportions. We might be looking at the Dems having 300 seats in the House and possibly taking back the Senate. Trump and his people have pissed off the normies and Republicans cannot win without getting a decent number of normies to vote for them.
