AP: Republicans reckon with Democratic success ahead of the midterms
Democrats widened their Wisconsin Supreme Court majority by 20 points and won in Waukesha, while Republicans saw warning signs in Georgia and elsewhere.
- On Tuesday, liberals expanded their Wisconsin Supreme Court majority with a 20-percentage-point blowout victory, solidifying a 5-2 supermajority and marking four straight state Supreme Court race victories.
- Waukesha County shifted from a solidly red majority to competitive territory as Maria Lazar won about 55% of the vote, down from routine Republican totals over 70% in Milwaukee suburbs.
- Taylor won 42 of the state's 72 counties, flipping five counties Donald Trump won in 2024: Kenosha, Jefferson, Ozaukee, Racine, and Sheboygan. She achieved this despite raising significantly less campaign cash than previous candidates.
- In Georgia, Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris on Tuesday to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, though Fuller's 12-percentage-point margin was significantly slimmer than prior Republican victories in the district.
- Strategists view the combined swings as "a significant canary in the coal mine" for November, though some Republicans caution "the sky is not falling" as the upcoming election remains a new contest.
