Wisconsin election results: Breakdown of Democratic wins, reaction

History made tonight, three African-Americans elected governor, a Democrat in Georgia, a Republican in Florida, and here in Wisconsin, 40-year-old David Crawley will soon be our 47th governor. That's a historic night. Yeah, that is a historic night, and it's also a night where we have some breaking news that I want to get to, Ted. I want to talk about the trifecta. Democrats have won a trifecta in Wisconsin politics. This is a monumental win for the Democrats. They have flipped the Wisconsin State Senate. Now we can tell you, Ted, they have flipped the Wisconsin Assembly, and they're keeping control of the Wisconsin governor's office, a trifecta of power now in Democratic hands. That is breaking news right now as we speak. A lot of, I've seen the word, you know, you're using the term blue wave or, you know, blue tidal wave, whatever. I've seen a lot of Republicans on social media tonight saying this is a flat out bloodbath, not just in Wisconsin, but across the country. Yeah, that's something that actually one of my Republican sources said early on when he was seeing those results coming in from Florida and other places with some of the congressional races. He called it a bloodbath very early on, and that's exactly what we're seeing when you look at the number of seats in the United States Senate that have flipped tonight. There's one called Berman. And as you may have just heard in the newsroom, we have another one. We already announced it, but now it's official. The Associated Press is calling District 1 of Wisconsin's congressional district for Mitchell Berman. So the Democrats have flipped that congressional seat. For the first time, Republicans have held that congressional seat, which is southeastern Wisconsin, since 1995. It was once held by former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who was the vice presidential nominee as well. And now look at that. You see the checkmark there. Mitchell Berman has officially won the first congressional district of Wisconsin, flipping that Republican district to the Democrats for the first time. Republicans have held that seat since 1990. 95, Ted and Mary. Yeah, and we saw that speech, the concession speech by Brian Stile. He took the stage at, I wrote down 1128, and he was out by 1130. It was brief, and it was to the point there for Brian Stile when he took the stage, conceding to Mitchell Berman. And we do have some more breaking news. I mean, we're just going to stay on because we're going to continue breaking this news. Whatever you've got, we'll take it. We have. The third congressional district, this one was that one that was a long time held by Democrat Ron Kind. He retired in 2022. Derek Van Orden flipped it in 2022. Well, now it flips back to the Democrats. Rebecca Cook winning the third congressional district. That's the area of the Driftless area, western Wisconsin along the Mississippi River there, the state border with Iowa and Minnesota. Now it flips back to the Democrats. The Republicans have held that for for a few terms, but now it flips back to the Democrats. We also have a Secretary of State race call that we can share with you for Wisconsin. The Secretary of State in Wisconsin doesn't do much, but I want to show you the election results here for the election of our next Secretary of State. It's going to be Jocasta Zamarripa, a Milwaukee alderwoman, winning 50% of the state. You see Jay Schroeder, the Republican there, with 46%, and Pete Karras, the Green Party candidate, with 4%. The question was, was Pete Karras going to take away votes from Zamarripa? She still was able to win there, winning handily with 50% here in Battleground, Wisconsin. She'll become the next Secretary of State. She's the Secretary of State-elect, so that will potentially open up her aldermanic seat Thank you. Special election, we'll see what happens with that in Milwaukee. We have the state treasurer race, Yiling Wang. Thank you very much. We need 51% to John Lieber. John Lieber was the only Republican who won a statewide constitutional office in Wisconsin in 2022 when Governor Evers and Josh Kahl and the others won. John Lieber was the Republican who won in 2022. Also, Republican Senator Ron Johnson won at the federal level in Wisconsin in 2022. But John Lieber's out. Let's look at some of those referendum questions that you voted on today. The governor's partial veto. Limits, this would ban, you've approved it, this changes the Wisconsin Constitution. It says that the governor cannot use his partial veto pen to create or raise taxes or create or raise new fees. So you're saying that's banned. The governor cannot use a partial veto to raise or create taxes or fees. That moves on. So the next constitutional amendment that you voted on today regarded... Closing places of worship during an emergency, something like what we saw with the pandemic, where some municipalities would say during the pandemic you couldn't have large enough large gatherings. So this changes the Wisconsin Constitution to make it explicit. That local governments or the state government could not close houses of worship. And then that third constitutional amendment again passes. So all three constitutional amendments passed by your vote tonight. You are the final say. This third one, prohibiting governmental discrimination, really ties in with that concept known as affirmative action. It says that Wisconsin Constitution will now ban the governments, whether it's the state or local governments. Tech colleges or the UW system, it will ban them from looking at race or gender when giving. employment or governmental contracts or in education. So that was now banned in the Wisconsin Constitution. Again, the way it works in Wisconsin is the legislature passes two times, two consecutive resolutions approving changing the Constitution, and then it bypasses the governor. He doesn't get to veto this. It goes right to you, the voter, the final say on whether to change the Wisconsin Constitution. And tonight, you said yes to all three Wisconsin constitutional changes. Hey, that one, the first one we talked about there with the veto power changing the governor not now having the power to change it to raise taxes, what does that do to Governor Evers who did do this and provided a, you know, 400-year, we keep talking about that, does that make that null and void, or does that just say you can't do anything like this again? No, because that is the law of the land, so that would not apply, it would apply to future budget vetoes, but it... I'm pretty sure that that is the law of the land with that 400-year property tax increase, which is something that Congressman Tom Tiffany brought up again and again when you'd ask him, what are you going to do about affordability? He says, hey, I'm going to do away with the 400-year property tax veto here.
