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 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.
