Things didn’t go quite the way Republicans were hoping on Tuesday in Wisconsin, and let’s be honest — the results left more than a few conservatives rubbing their temples. In a critical Supreme Court race with national implications, liberal Susan Crawford sailed past Brad Schimel by a wider margin than most anticipated, despite the cavalry showing up — and yes, that included former President Donald Trump and even Elon Musk. If ever there were a moment when Republicans were hoping momentum would swing their way, this was it. Spoiler: it didn’t.
Now, let’s not pretend this was just a local skirmish. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race had high-stakes consequences written all over it. Crawford’s win gives the Democrats a 4-3 majority, and guess what? They’re already licking their chops, ready to redraw congressional maps in a way that’ll likely cost Republicans at least two House seats before 2026. That’s not some abstract policy battle — that’s a direct hit to GOP chances of holding the House in a razor-thin margin landscape. So, yes, this stings. No sugar-coating needed.
And speaking of sugar-coating, in struts Kamala Harris to deliver one of the more bizarre TikTok “victory laps” in recent memory. It’s hard to say exactly what the Vice President was trying to accomplish, but the video was peak Kamala: all buzzwords, breathless gratitude, and empty platitudes that sounded like they were plucked straight from a donor gala Mad Libs game.
There she was, addressing the good people of Wisconsin like a first-year drama student performing an over-rehearsed monologue. “You love our country. You care. You are making such extraordinary sacrifices…” What? For a state Supreme Court election? The melodrama is almost impressive. But then she drops the line that had conservatives everywhere rolling their eyes: “There is an unelected billionaire who should not and will not have a greater voice than the working people of Wisconsin.”
Oh, please.
Let’s ignore the fact that the Democratic donor class includes more unelected billionaires than an Aspen ski lodge on Presidents’ Day weekend. George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and a few others were right there in this race, too, funneling money with the same enthusiasm Musk showed. But somehow Musk, because he doesn’t parrot progressive talking points, is the dangerous one? Sure. Makes total sense.
And let’s not skip over the irony baked into Harris’s involvement. The same voters she’s praising? They handed her a lovely rejection notice in 2024. They didn’t just snub her — they helped boot her and Biden out of the White House. But now they’re “extraordinary” and “sacrificing” and “making history.” Apparently, rejection only counts when Republicans are on the receiving end.

The kicker is that this TikTok moment felt less like a celebration and more like a soft launch for Kamala 2028. Yes, the same Kamala who couldn’t gain traction in 2020, who cratered approval ratings alongside Joe Biden, and who now leads early Democratic primary polls by default — because everyone else with a functioning political compass is waiting for the party to come to its senses.
Everything voters didn’t like about her was front and center in that video: the halting, awkward delivery, the overuse of vague affirmations, and the reliance on focus-tested phrases that make real people cringe. It’s political paint-by-numbers, except the canvas keeps catching fire. And yet, Democrats seem determined to ride this train all the way to 2028.
So go ahead, run it back. Make Kamala the face of the Democratic Party in 2028. Republicans won’t complain. In fact, most are begging for it.
