  • Is Republican support rising or falling after Trump's criminal charges? Strange as it may seem, the day Donald Trump was forced to trudge into court, his political fundraising shot up, and his grip on the Republican presidential nomination became more certain as the party rallied around him. They think they're going to take him out, but what it's doing is it's just making him stronger. But on that very day, far from the hubbub in Manhattan, out in Wisconsin, a vote for a single seat on the state Supreme Court showed the political ground continuing to shift in America. Soon, you'll head to the polls. Millions of dollars from out of state poured in for a liberal judge who campaigned openly to overturn Wisconsin's ban on abortions. Judge Janet Protasewicz believes in women's freedom to make their own decisions when it comes to abortion. Conservative former Justice Daniel Kelly campaigned against her. We can't afford to have judges who put their own agendas above the law. But that agenda, including abortion rights, brought out many women voters. I think that everyone should be able to make their own choices about their own bodies, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is super important. Wisconsin's high court has had a conservative majority 4-3 for 15 years, until last Tuesday. Victory for Janet Protasewicz has tipped the balance of the court to the liberals. They've chosen to reject partisan extremism in this state. What stunned political analysts was that it wasn't close. In a 50-50 state, she won by 11 points. You're seeing incredible enthusiasm from liberal voters, and you're seeing a continued shift, a continued erosion for Republicans in those suburban areas. Was it abortion? Was it Trump? Was it a combination of those things?
