During the Wednesday, March 2, episode of CNN News Central, senior data correspondent Harry Enten broke down why the Elon Musk-backed Brad Schimel lost by a large margin to his leftist opponent.
"I think it may have backfired. Look, I think if there's one thing we should be taking away from the results in Wisconsin and the polling that we have from Wisconsin and national, if you are a Republican candidate running in a swing state, you don't want Elon Musk anywhere near you!" the journalist explained. "Yes, maybe you like the money, but you do not want his presence in your state. Why is that? Elon Musk, simply put, is an unpopular guy. He is political poison!"
"Look in Wisconsin, his net favorable rating minus 12 points, 12 points underwater. That is an even worse number when you look nationally. Look at that. It's minus 17 points," Enten added.

Despite Elon Musk being Donald Trump-approved, his mass firings under DOGE may have caused Americans to reject anyone linked to the SpaceX founder.
"We're talking about an average 19-point swing from the baseline back in 2024, in just a matter of four or five months. These are massive shifts! These are a massive shift to the left," Harry Enten emphasized. "Democrats really have to like this even the Republicans added to the majority in terms of what this potentially means down the road."

On Tuesday, April 1, Susan Crawford clinched victory in the race without the alleged millions in funding from Elon Musk.

"As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin," the former prosecutor told the crowd in her speech.
Brad Schimel conceded the race to his opponent, telling his supporters, "You got to accept the results."

Although Brad Schimel appeared to support the outcome, Elon Musk took to X to allege that the race was rigged.
"The long con of the left is corruption of the judiciary," the Tesla founder claimed in a Wednesday, April 2, post. "There is value to losing a piece for positional gain."

Political lobbyist Roger Stone also claimed there was fraud at play in the results of the Wisconsin election.
"The numbers don't just add up," the consultant alleged during an interview with Infowars founder Alex Jones. "The fraud was baked in in the mail-in vote."
