In battleground Wisconsin, liberals are aiming to further expand their majority on the state Supreme Court and extend their recent winning streak.
Main Idea: Voters in Wisconsin and Georgia are deciding two key races that could shape the political mood before the midterm elections, including Chris Taylor’s bid for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and Clay Fuller’s runoff for a Georgia House seat.
Key Points:
A Taylor win could deepen state court fights over abortion, elections, and federal power, affecting rules that shape daily life for Wisconsin families and businesses.
A fuller turnout test in Wisconsin and Georgia could give voters a clearer read on the fall election climate and how competitive future races may be.
