Judge Susan Crawford won a pivotal election to maintain liberal control of Wisconsin ’s Supreme Court despite a big push from billionaire Musk and his millions .

Musk went to great lengths to help conservative Judge Brad Schimel in the race.

Democrats leaned heavily on anti-Musk messaging in the final weeks of the Wisconsin race.

GOP victories in Florida will give GOP a little more leeway to pass their priorities in Congress .

Democrats in the Trump era have swamped Republicans in fundraising, and Tuesday ’s races demonstrate that the fundraising boom hasn’t stopped.

Democrats also outperformed Democrats in Florida , but they raised millions of dollars in the process.

Wisconsin had nearly 2.2 million votes tallied by midnight Eastern Time , with a chunk of votes still outstanding.

In Door County , a swingy county north of Green Bay , more than 39,000 people cast their ballots there this year .

If that projection holds, the race will end up just shy of turnout in the 2022 midterms.
