This episode explores the implications of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and other recent special elections, particularly concerning the influence of Elon Musk and the shifting political landscape. Against the backdrop of Elon Musk's significant financial contribution to the Wisconsin race, the hosts analyze whether his involvement was ultimately beneficial or detrimental to the Republican cause. More significantly, the discussion pivots to broader trends in special elections, suggesting a potential advantage for Democrats due to the changing voter demographics and engagement levels.
