GOP sees omens of a Dem wave in Wisconsin

A surprise loss in a special statehouse election Tuesday night in Wisconsin has set off a new round of alarm among Republicans worried that they could face a Democratic wave in this year’s midterm elections.

Democrat Patty Schachtner defeated Republican Adam Jarchow by about 10 points in Wisconsin’s 10th Senate District, a seat that had been under GOP control since 2001. President Trump carried the district by 17 points in the 2016 election.

The state Senate election in Wisconsin is another damning data point for Republicans.

“If Republicans are losing districts like this, they should be in complete panic mode about the tsunami heading their way,” said Trygve Olson, a national Republican strategist who is from Wisconsin’s 10th District.
