What to Watch in Today's Big Elections in Wisconsin and Florida
Briefly

The upcoming elections in Wisconsin and Florida serve as a pivotal test for President Trump and Republican allies, indicating whether support is waning. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race, heavily funded by Elon Musk, has become a significant indicator of political sentiment. Musk's financial backing encompasses over $25 million, providing robust campaigning support for the conservative candidate Brad Schimel. Florida also presents closely watched elections that could suggest a shift in voter dynamics. As Democrats observe tighter margins, they seek signs of resurgence despite expecting losses.
In Wisconsin, a nearly $100 million race for control of the State Supreme Court has morphed from an important clash over the state's direction into a referendum on Elon Musk's supersized role in national politics.
Elon Musk's support for Brad Schimel has been a full-service political operation, financing a potent ground game and ensuring Republicans see him as a Trump ally.
