Democrats Outvote Trump in WI: Musk’s Role Shake GOP

The political shifts post-April 1, 2025, elections. With Trump and Kamala off the ballot, Wisconsin saw 200 more Democrats vote than in the presidential race, trouncing Trump’s influence with a Musk-focused strategy, as liberal Susan Crawford won the Supreme Court seat. Despite Elon Musk’s $22.6M. In the $75M race, the media hid George Soros and JB Pritzker’s roles for the liberals. Florida’s Escambia County flipped blue, shrinking GOP margins, hinting at a “Musk anchor” dragging Republicans down. Rural America’s turnout remains key, but Democrats dominated urban Madison. Trump’s tariffs loom, SignalGate lingers with Gmail scandals, and campaign finance reform is urged amid $75M judicial spending. Steve Kornacki’s MSNBC exit adds media intrigue.

Keep in mind that Trump is not on the ballot. Kamala is not on the ballot. In WI 200 more democrats came out to vote than in the presidential election. Democrats trounced Trump with their Musk-focused playbook in Wisconsin. There are career politicians that are running the polls and looking at the numbers to see what the people feel about Elon Musk and MAGA. Republicans still have to deal with if they go the wrong direction, Elon Musk will put money towards their primary challenger, a primary challenger is a different story. In 2016 about 3 weeks before the election, the momentum for Trump was huge and the counties were saying that it would be hard to overcome Madison. Trump overcame Madison and Milwaukee in 2024 but Kamala was on the ballot. Rural America still wins elections, and can win the election and it takes rural America to win an election. You can spend millions researching but if Rural America doesn’t come out in record numbers you do not win. If the voter doesn’t show up in rural America and the voter does show up in Madison, democrats will win.
Republicans scramble to shield their states from Trump’s next wave of tariffs.
Liberal susan crawford wins wisconsin supreme court race. Trump White House brushes off Wisconsin loss amid warning signs around Elon Musk’s role. Career politicians are not representing you, they are making it a career and they are stressed this morning. They are telling you that Elon spent $22.6M but they glossed that $75M was the overall spending in the race. $52M was spent over and above Elon’s money. They want you to believe that it was Elon’s race to win and his to lose. In the $75M they leave out that WI democrats and republicans want photo ID. They fail to mention the other out of state billionaires fueling the Wisconsin justice race, George Soros and JB Pritzker and you will never know it. They only talk about the money that Elon put in the race.
Republicans did need to win the congressional races in FL. They wanted to say that the republican margin is shrinking in FL, the narrative they are trying to build. “Musk the anchor” that might “drag down republicans.” How long before they run into Trump's office with the data. Democrats came out yesterday over and above what came out for Kamala Harris.
They have done everything to attack Musk going after him 7 days a week because he is trying to save the country. But democrats came out and voted. Politics is a business. If you want to fix politics we have to have campaign finance reform in this county. There is no way that there should be $75M for a justice race. There should only be money raised from the district you represent. Politics is a science.
What narrative did they want to build in FL. Escambia county, FL, flips blue in special house election. They did shrink the margins in the 6th district. Republicans are not getting the best of district 6 and district 1.
SignalGate is not over, the case is closed. Trump’s national security officials used gmail for government communications. Waltz and staff used gmail for government communications. How will Trump react to Waltz's second security mishap? Remember the first move in 2016 was Michael Flynn because they are hitting Waltz hard.
Steve Kornacki is stepping down from MSNBC and will stick with the parent company NBC. MSNBC and NBC are about to split.
