Democrats Hope a Blue Wave Washes over Wisconsin and Gives Them Total Control of Battleground State
Democrats seek control of governor and legislature with new maps amid favorable midterms; a sweep could restore collective bargaining and expand Medicaid, requiring flipping seven legislative seats.
- This year, Democrats are aiming to retake full control of the Wisconsin Statehouse for the first time in 16 years, with the November election the first under new maps ordered by the state Supreme Court.
- The liberal-majority Wisconsin Supreme Court seeks to expand its hold as Governor Tony Evers, Democrat, declined a third term, leaving the governor's race open for the first time since 2010.
- Democrats must flip two Senate seats and five Assembly seats to take legislative majorities as a liberal-aligned gubernatorial candidate reported raising 10 times her Republican-backed opponent Thursday, Rodriguez reported significant receipts Thursday and Barnes was expected to report totals later Thursday.
- If Democrats win, Republican Party leaders acknowledge a clear shot for expanding Medicaid and public school funding, while Assembly Speaker Robin Vos remains confident and Brian Reisinger warns of lost Republican gains.
- Democrats hope a strong showing this year will build momentum ahead of 2028 as Wisconsin remains a fiercely contested battleground where Donald Trump won in 2016 and 2024 during the 'Cheesehead Revolution'.
