Elon Musk's $20 million effort to sway the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race in favor of the Republicans' candidate ended in failure.

Democratic voters overpowered Musk's campaign, emphasizing the broader stakes of the race beyond a judicial seat.

The contest's turnout and results signal potential shifts in political strategies for both parties, offering early insights into the upcoming midterm elections.

Despite Musk's financial backing, the outcome underscores the unpredictability of his influence on voters, particularly in races where Trump is absent from the ballot.

Democrats view the Wisconsin results as a rejection of the Trump administration and its allies, like Musk, while some Republicans in swing districts express relief over Musk's unsuccessful campaign.
