Chapter 1: What were the key outcomes of Wisconsin’s judicial election?
The most expensive judicial election in U.S. history is over, and conservatives come up short. But Republicans successfully defend two House seats in special elections.
Let it be known that this election is a reminder that Florida panhandle will forever be red, and it'll be forever Trump country.
We won by double digits. We're super excited. It was an incredibly powerful victory.
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Wednesday, April 2nd, and this is Morning Wire. RFK slashes HHS spending and staff while Democrats sound the alarm and launch lawsuits.
We're not going to cut services. We're not going to cut Medicaid. We're not going to cut Medicare. We're going to provide services, but more efficiently.
And new data shows a massive decrease in border crossings and fentanyl trafficking.
We secure the border. We're down the border crossing 96 percent.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

Chapter 3: What changes are happening at the HHS under RFK's leadership?
So early estimates say that more than $100 million was poured into this election, making it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. Billionaires George Soros for Crawford and Musk for Schimel were key contributors.
Big names, big money. Okay, shifting gears to the special elections in Florida, Republicans were able to win both seats after those departures for the Trump administration. Tell us about those elections.
Right, Republican Randy Fine won a seat in Florida's 6th District. That spot was vacated by Mike Waltz after he was tapped by Trump for National Security Advisor. And Republican Jimmy Petronas won Matt Gaetz's old seat in the 1st District. Gaetz was briefly nominated by Trump for Attorney General before he resigned from Congress.
Those wins were scored in red districts, but this is still really good news for the GOP, who have a slim majority in the House. Democrats significantly outspent Republicans in both races, and both Republicans still won by double digits. Still, legacy media tried to paint these GOP victories as wins for Democrats. Here's CNN's Jake Tapper.
Petronas is a strong candidate. And he is going to win. We're projecting a win for him. But, Dana, it's not a 35-point win that it should be in ruby red panhandle Florida.
Now, Trump nominated a number of congressional Republicans to his cabinet, which was kind of a risky move with such a narrow majority in the House. In fact, Trump just recently withdrew New York Representative Elise Stefanik as a nominee for ambassador to the United Nations because of that tight majority. Just wasn't worth the risk for Trump.
Well, some wins and losses for both parties yesterday that will have consequences down the road. Amanda, thanks so much for reporting.

Chapter 4: How have border crossings and fentanyl trafficking changed recently?
You bet.
Illegal crossings at the southern border continued to plummet last month, hitting the lowest point in decades. The news comes as President Trump continues to deport criminal aliens at a frenetic pace.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here to break down the numbers and what it means for Americans. Hey, Cabot. So this new data is rather stunning. What are we looking at here?
Yeah, President Trump campaigned on a promise to shut down the southern border, and no one is disputing that he has done just that. In February, his first full month back in office, illegal crossings plummeted to 8,300. That was the lowest number in modern American history. And according to a new report from Homeland Security, in March, there were barely 7,000 illegal crossings.
For context, during the same month last year, that number was 137,000. So nearly 20 times higher. Zooming out, during President Biden's four years in office, there were about a quarter million illegal border encounters every single month.
If these current numbers hold, President Trump's first year in office will see a 95% reduction in illegal immigration, and the total number of illegal entries would be at its lowest point since at least 1968. President Trump celebrated that news on Truth Social, writing, quote, the invasion of our country is over. Here's White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt.
Thanks to President Trump's leadership, Border Patrol agents are now back to doing the jobs they signed up for, securing the border, rather than serving as travel agents for illegal aliens.
Border crossings have fallen so rapidly that multiple shelters serving legal immigrants in California are now sitting empty. A number have even closed down altogether. And what makes that turnaround even more remarkable is that it came with no new legislation from Congress.
The White House was quick to remind folks that Democrats had told the American people the only way to secure the border was by passing comprehensive immigration reform in Congress. We heard that line a lot. To that point, this clip of President Biden from last February was making the rounds on social media.
