Republican wins special state Senate election in Wisconsin, handing GOP supermajority

So just because the liberal judge got elected doesn't mean that Wisconsin has gone blue

Conventional wisdom by some pundits was that the election of a liberal judge in Wisconsin all but sealed the fate of the state to turn blue for all of eternity.

However, one has to consider exactly how much money was spent to elect the pro-abortion politician into the justice robe. By some accounts the outside donors provided an approximate 20-1 advantage in campaign spending.

Moreover, this has been the case with many "special elections" that have taken place over the past few years. Whenever there is a special election with national consequences the out of state money raised by liberals is astronomical. For all practical purposes they are "buying" the special elections in a manner that they cannot afford to to during a normal November election cycle.

At the end of the day a "blue state" does not own a supermajority of the State Congress and Donald Trump still only lost that state by 0.4 percent in 2020 after winning it in 2016.

There is no way that the next statewide races sees any sort of spending advantage especially if Trump is at the top of the ticket. He already has an eight figure war chest and he is just getting started.
