The Severe Consequences of Trump's Indictment for the GOP
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump was arraigned and read his Miranda rights, marking the first time a former US president has been arrested. Meanwhile, Wisconsin's state supreme court election was decided by nearly 200,000 votes, with the liberal candidate winning by double digits. The election was the most expensive judicial race in American history, with more than $40 million spent. The stakes were high, with everything from abortion to gerrymandering to the future of Act ten on the line. The election was also a warning sign to Republicans about the way the abortion issue is going to play out.
