Oh, Henry! When it comes to abortion, Henry Olsen is in denial

 
And when you add gerrymandering and book bans and homophobia and transphobia and bald-faced racism to the list, the GOP has nothing to look forward to.

HeadlineWashington Post, 4/12/2023

Democrats also cannot expect the turnout they achieved in Wisconsin to carry over into general elections. Statewide turnout in the race was 55.8 percent of the 2020 presidential total. That number was significantly higher in most Democratic counties, reaching as high as 69.7 percent in Dane County, home of the state capital and the ultraprogressive University of Wisconsin-Madison. Turnout in the rural and small city counties carried by both Trump and Kelly, by contrast, was a mere 53.6 percent. So, it’s clear that Democrats were much more motivated to vote than Republicans. 
But Republicans will likely get reinforcements in the 2024 election.

Reinforcements?  Don't count on it, Henry.

Ozaukee and other once red suburban counties will continue to trend purple.

Dan Kelly's margin of victory in Ozaukee County shrank from 12 percentage points in 2020 to 4.6 percentage points in 2023.
