Perhaps R congressman and senators will realize how toxic Elon is and his threats to fund primary challenges if they don’t toe the line isn’t the end of their careers.
Obama is happy. This guy probably questions all the hard work he did during his presidency when Trump got elected again and destroyed a lot of his progress.
In all seriousness, I’m surprised Trump and the right suffered their first major political defeat this early into Trump’s term.
I just can’t tell if this means Trump’s preferred candidates are at a disadvantage if he’s not on the ballot himself or if his administration has become so unpopular that people are actually driven to vote against his candidates and agenda whenever possible.

From the ap article on it.
It’s a low bar, but have to give the other dude credit for not going full trump about losing.
It gives me some hope that people are willing to push back against Trump even if some of their elected officials aren’t. It’s also worth pointing out that the Republicans barely won their special election races in Florida that that they won handily in 2024.
If Elon wasted $20+ million on an off-year state election and lost by over 10 in a swing state, he sure as hell doesn’t have it to flip blue seats and states.
Republicans should be extremely worried. This was near-midterm turnout due to midterm spending and they got crushed. The Dem aligned candidate will win by 10+ in a state Trump won by a point.
That’s a campaign being totally ineffective if not having negative value. It’s in the same realm as their 2023 race where the Dems outspent a very unpopular awful candidate massively. The money didn’t help; it might have backfired.
You get any kind of economic downturn on top of this, look out.
Good. Between that and both deep red districts seeing Republicans margin of support get cut just over in half means good things for midterms in swing states and districts. This all before the economic pain has really ramped up on main street from this stupid trade war.
I was pretty confident but I’m also obviously pleased.
The statewide Wisconsin electorate is, yes, very fickle but there was an unappreciated dimension to the dynamic of this race that helped us. Car dealers are like the prototypical Midwest Republican and musk’s motive here was in large part to try to force Wisconsin to accept direct Tesla sales. I don’t think that they worked against him but I don’t think that they put their heart into this campaign.
Also, Musk is just pretty unpopular. I would not be surprised if he’s asked to be less visible in future swing state campaigns.
Not a slight about OP but why is askreddit become extended comment sections to recent news story? Are yall just trying to get people informed or farm karma?
Wisconsinite here and HOLY SHIT I AM OVER THE MOON! This protects abortion rights, prevents the kind of gerrymandering we have had here for the last decade, and so much more. I feel like maybe there is a glimmer of hope for us finally, for the first time since before Scott Walker. We can finally move… FORWARD

I just put on a steak. Gonna pop some champagne when it’s ready.
Mind blowing!!!
I was like what in the constitution
I can sleep with a smile for once tonight.
Excellent news, also Musk wasted millions of dollars puts a smile to my face.
First thing I thought was “Fuck you, Elmo, and your little cheeto, too”.
Made my day!
A win for Democracy, and another night seething and alone in his k-hole for the Muskrat. Good day.
it wasn’t close either so there “shouldn’t” be too much whining about it being stolen
Restored my faith in people of this country. Will of the people prevailed
Perhaps R congressman and senators will realize how toxic Elon is and his threats to fund primary challenges if they don’t toe the line isn’t the end of their careers.
Gives me a sliver of hope.
I feel ike this 🤸♀️wooooo hoooooo
Someone should bring forward a criminal case against him and she shouldn’t recuse herself.
Elon Musk not being able to bribe another election really speaks volumes about how despised he’s become.
Good news
I hope her first act is to do away with these weak effort “what do you think” posts people make in r/AskReddit
Foreshadowing. Look out Elon.
Having a couple cold ones before i head to bed a happy man.
Get fucked, Elon.
Warms the cockles of my heart.
Proud that Wisconsin said Musk couldn’t buy their rights.
Love it.
YAY!!!! Democracy wins (for once). We still ave reasons for HOPE.
That insufferable Boer fuck can go get fucked.
Fuck off to some country that wants him and his garbage trucks.
Finally good news for once.
Obama is happy. This guy probably questions all the hard work he did during his presidency when Trump got elected again and destroyed a lot of his progress.
I love that the people of Wisconsin can’t be bought!
Wisconsin is not for sale.

I’m really fucking happy
Here come the lawsuits
Suck it, Elmo.
Seems good.

Muck might be the best thing that’s happened to the
republicanmaga party. Keep on winning, Leon.Balance ⚖️ 😌😏
I think it shouldn’t be national news, and in any normal year it wouldn’t have been.
Just another sign of how abnormal a time we are living in (unless you’re in WIsconsin, then yay for you)
We dodged a bullet fired by idiots and paid for by a mad clown

Glad to see it and hoping it’s a sign of things to come
This is a clear repudiation of both Musk and Trump. The midterms will be a bloodbath.
The cost to his bank account? Negligible. The cost to his ego? Priceless 👌🏻
If Elon wasted $20+ million on an off-year state election and lost by over 10 in a swing state, he sure as hell doesn’t have it to flip blue seats and states.
I want to be happy but my soul has been crushed so many times, all I can think is, “They’re already thinking of ways to impeach her.”
This was a rejection of the past 72 days of the Trump reign of terror. A middle finger to him and Elon.
Now Wisconsin can undo the Republican gerrymandering and let the voters decide they want their state to be Blue.
Republicans should be extremely worried. This was near-midterm turnout due to midterm spending and they got crushed. The Dem aligned candidate will win by 10+ in a state Trump won by a point.

I hope Elon takes it personally.
I hope she can be involved in a case where Elon is held accountable for breaking the law on bribing people for votes

Did she?! Yay Wisconsin!!!
Proud Wisconsinite tonight!
Dear Elon,
We hate you. We really really hate you.

Any Republican loss is good news.

Good. The RWNJs have had plenty of wins.
Relieved.
On Wisconsin.
It’s an encouraging development!
It’s not something I think about very much TBH
Further proof that Elon is a big loser, and more people are catching on to it.
Thank god.
I think that I’m very grateful to the people of Wisconsin, who did not allow their votes to be bought.
A ray of hope in all the darkness
Great 👍
It’s very interesting to me that all these states that were projected blue, voted for Trump and now are going back to blue.
very happy! extra happy since elongated muskrat spent millions on this only to loose 🙂
Meanwhile, in NC
Republicans under Trump are like Democrats under Obama, they just don’t turn out at the same rate for anyone else.
Good job Wisconsin
A rare positive amidst the Florida house elections.
Sad about Florida
I’m in Wisconsin (Outagamie county) and I feel the slightest bit of hope for the first time in months? years?
Not a slight about OP but why is askreddit become extended comment sections to recent news story? Are yall just trying to get people informed or farm karma?
A giant middle finger to Elon and his Monopoly money.
Thank fucking god
Fuck Yeah, and fuck Trump.
SUCK IT ELON
F*ck Elon.
I could write a long diatribe discussing either why it doesn’t matter she won or why it does. But honestly? My thoughts are simple:
F*ck Elon.
Elon Musk’s effort to buy that judicial seat blew up bigger than a SpaceX rocket explosion.

As a Wisconsin voter, looking forward to some lighter mail days now that I won’t be getting any more flyers.
Get bent Elon, can’t buy WI!
I think there is still hope for Americans. The rest of us have seen too many red capped cultists, and were seriously thinking, “ya’ll crazy”.
God bless America.
Anyone who isn’t part of the Trump/Elon crowd is a win.
I hope it is a portend of people no longer being mystified by that piece of rancid shit Elon Musk.
