This is a pretty big deal in the Cheesehead State.

I read one analysis that looking at the votes in the 2020 presidential election as a benchmark, if the voting followed the exact pattern, the state Senate would go from the current 22-10 Republican supermajority to a 18-15 Democratic majority, and the Assembly would go from 63-33 Republican to 50-49 Republican. But note that only half of the Senate is up for reelection in 2024.
