A liberal judge won big in Wisconsin's April 1 Supreme Court election while the GOP held two Florida House seats. Both parties are spinning the results ahead of the 2026 midterm cycle.

Despite being outraised and outspent, Randy Fine earned 56.7% of the vote, winning all six counties that make up the sixth congressional district.

Republican candidates are projected to win both special elections for U.S. House seats in Florida, though by smaller margins than expected in two GOP-dominated districts. State Sen. Randy Fine is projected by The Associated Press to win in Florida’s 6th Congressional District while the AP projects Jimmy Patronis will win in the 1st District.

Election results in Wisconsin and Florida suggest the political landscape has shifted since Trump and Republicans won big last fall.

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday delivered Democrats their biggest boost since President Donald Trump returned to power, handing liberals a state Supreme Court majority and defying Elon Musk’s record-shattering effort to bolster a conservative Trump acolyte.
