Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil were booted from office as Wisconsin voters delivered a massive blow to the MAGA Republican agenda.
Wisconsin Democrats beat Tom Tiffany 54% to 46%, flipped Bryan Steil's and Derrick Van Orden's House seats, and took both chambers of the Legislature for the first time since 2010.
