What to look at during the big elections today in Wisconsin and Florida

Two states of almost a thousand kilometers from each other will bring the best evidence to date on Tuesday to know if President Trump and his republican allies will maintain solid support or if they are faced with a growing reaction led by a revitalized Democratic Party.

In Wisconsin, a race of nearly $ 100 million for control of the Supreme Court of the State has increased from an important confrontation on the direction of the State in a referendum on the oversized role of Elon Musk in national policy.

In Florida, one of the two special elections for seats at the deep red house suddenly seems too close to comfort for republicans. The Democrats, while expecting to lose, look closely at the margins for the signs that their party is ascending.

Here are five big questions before the Tuesday elections.

Will millions of Elon Musk bear fruit?

The support of Mr. Musk to Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate of the Wisconsin, was a political operation at full service.

The billionaire and the groups related to him spent more than $ 25 million, funding a powerful floor game. An army of $ 25 soldiers on time struck at the doors of Trump voters, and brilliant broadcasters assured the Republicans that Schimel Judge is a Trump ally. A conservative non -profit organization with links with Mr. Musk helped to cover the airwaves with advertisements that hit the liberal candidate, Susan Crawford, as weak on crime. And Mr. Musk’s donations include $ 3 million in the Wisconsin Republican Party, which channeled money to help Schimel Judge.
