Wisconsin's Surprising Election Result Is a Good Omen for Biden

The results of Wisconsin's election and referendums were not only good news for the winning candidates and amendments, but also for President Joe Biden, who was delivered a hopeful sign that his 2024 strategy is on the right track.
On Tuesday, voters in Wisconsin flipped the state Supreme Court from a conservative majority to a liberal one in a massive win for abortion rights, while also passing an amendment to the state's constitution that will make it harder to post bail—a move aiming to address public safety concerns.
Biden, who is widely viewed as a centrist Democrat, has tried to ride the middle lane throughout his political career and the president has worked on both issues, abortion and crime, during his two years in the White House.
