"Chris Taylor's victory gives Democrats a 5-2 advantage on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court and ensures that Democrats will control the court during the 2028 presidential election cycle."
"Taylor didn't just beat Lazar in the liberal strongholds of Milwaukee and Madison; she beat Lazar in rural Wisconsin, flipping 29 counties that went for Trump in 2024."
"The problem with running a cult of personality is that, eventually, the cult leader dies, and his personality goes with him. The post-Trump Republican Party is, frankly, unknowable at this point."
Chris Taylor won decisively against Republican Maria Lazar in Wisconsin, giving Democrats a 5-2 majority on the state Supreme Court. This victory follows last year's historic election where Democrats regained control for the first time in 15 years. Despite low turnout and less financial backing from Republican PACs, Taylor's win included flipping 29 counties that previously supported Trump. The results highlight ongoing challenges for Republicans in mobilizing voters without Trump's presence on the ballot, raising questions about the future of the party post-Trump.
