Republican victory in Wisconsin Senate creates GOP supermajority and impeachment power.

Republican Dan Knodl has won the special election for Wisconsin’s 8th Senate District, securing a two-thirds GOP majority in the chamber that allows the party to impeach state office holders. With Knodl's victory, Republicans now hold 22 votes in the 33-seat state Senate. A two-thirds vote is needed to override a governor’s veto, though Republicans are two seats short of a supermajority in the state Assembly.

Republican supermajority secured in Wisconsin state Senate

Republican state Rep. Dan Knodl won the special election for an open Senate seat in Wisconsin, creating a GOP supermajority in the chamber that could be used to impeach Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and other office holders. Knodl's victory gives Senate Republicans 22 votes in the 33-seat chamber, enough to override a gubernatorial veto in that house and convict a civil officer, including the governor, other constitutional officers such as the attorney general and judges in impeachment trials.

Republican Dan Knodl Secures Supermajority in Wisconsin Senate

Republican Dan Knodl has declared victory in the race for Wisconsin State Senate District 8, with a 533 vote lead over Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin. A Knodl win would give Republicans the 22nd vote they need to have a supermajority in the Senate, and enough GOP votes to override a Governor Tony Evers veto in the Senate. Knodl's departure from the Assembly will require Governor Tony Evers to call a special election to fill the vacancy.
