House Republicans wouldn't mind if bad election night 'woke up' Trump: CNN host

Some GOP lawmakers privately hope Election Night goes poorly for Republicans to wake President Donald Trump up to the need to boot tech billionaire Elon Musk out of power, CNN anchor and analyst Kasie Hunt told panelists just ahead of the first poll closings.

Republicans face their first statewide election since 2024 with a Wisconsin Supreme Court contest heavily targeted by Musk and a pair of Florida special elections for deep-red districts that Democrats were hopeful to outperform in despite all odds.
