The recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election resulted in a win for the liberal judge, marking a political shift in a crucial swing state. Additionally, a state Senate election in the Milwaukee area saw a 3-point overperformance for the Democratic nominee, who lost the district by 5 points in 2020, but outperformed in the 2023 special election by 2 points. These recent results match up with what has been seen in other special elections throughout the country this year, with Democrats performing better than in 2019, indicating a good sign for the party leading up to the 2024 elections. Surprisingly, the better performance is happening despite the low approval ratings of President Biden. The political environment is proving to be more favorable to Democrats than during the 2020 elections, contrasting with 2019 when special elections had almost similar margins as Hillary Clinton’s. Moreover, the recent rulings and decisions related to the abortion pill access, Donald Trump’s possible indictment, and racial politics highlight the unsettling state of American politics during these divisive times, intensifying the battle over the country's direction as the 2024 election approaches.
