Trump's Midterm Momentum Sinks in Wisconsin and Florida Elections
President Donald Trump and Republicans are facing early warning signs in Wisconsin and Florida elections that could signal a challenging year ahead for their party. The Democratic victories come after Democrats rallied around several high-profile candidates in key battleground states.
Three US state elections held on Tuesday - Wisconsin, Florida, and Virginia - provided early warning signs to Republicans and President Donald Trump at the start of his second term, as Democrats rallied support and defied expectations. In Wisconsin, Democrats won key legislative seats and took control of both chambers in the state legislature. Meanwhile, Republican candidates lost their bids for governor in Florida and Maryland, and Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe won a closely contested election in Virginia. The results suggest that Democrats are poised to perform well in 2024's midterms, potentially undermining Trump's plans to maintain Republican control of Congress.
