In Wisconsin and Florida, voters went to the polls today for elections that will offer the best evidence yet of whether President Trump maintains robust support.

In Florida, two Republicans are expected to win special elections for deep-red House seats. But Democrats have been able to feed on their voters’ fury to make at least one of the races closer than expected. We’re tracking each party’s turnout in the state, and you can see the results here as they come in.

In Wisconsin, Republicans wanted today’s State Supreme Court election to be all about Trump, our politics reporter Reid Epstein told me. The president won the state in November and the conservative candidate, Brad Schimel, has been doing everything he can to associate with Trump, including wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

“He is doing everything short of standing up and yelling: Trump, Trump, Trump,” said Reid, who reported today from Madison, the state’s capital. “On the other hand, Democrats are standing up yelling: Musk, Musk, Musk.”

That’s because, as Reid described to me, Elon Musk has become the central player in the Wisconsin contest. Musk and groups tied to him have poured more than $25 million into what is the most expensive judicial election in American history.

Polling suggests Musk has less residual popularity among Republicans than Trump, and Democrats have urged voters to support the liberal candidate, Susan Crawford, as a way to push back against the billionaire and his effort to dismantle the federal bureaucracy. Turnout in the race is expected to be strong. We will update this page when we get results.
