Live updates: Liberal candidate wins Wisconsin Supreme Court race; GOP's Randy Fine wins Florida special election

A group of House Republicans rebelled against GOP leadership’s effort to block a vote on allowing proxy voting for new parents and delivering a blow to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)

The gambit drew the ire of House Democrats, who bashed the "outrageous" move as several Republicans bucked their party’s leadership. 

Nine Republicans — led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) — joined all Democrats in voting against the procedural rule, enough for it to fall short in a 206-222 vote. The rule included a provision to kill consideration of the proxy voting resolution.

And in the upper chamber, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has been speaking for over 18 hours on the Senate floor in protest of President Trump's agenda. The New Jersey Democrat has slammed the president's tax plans, emphasizing potential cuts to Social Security and Medicaid.

Meanwhile, special elections for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and two Florida House seats are seen as political barometers in races where Trump is not on the ballot.

Susan Crawford was projected to win an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court’s 4-3 liberal majority intact and delivering a blow to Elon Musk and Trump, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Congress also has a number of high-profile hearings on Tuesday. The Senate Armed Services Committee held a confirmation hearing for Lt. Gen. John D. Caine (Ret), Trump's pick for chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets is holding a hearing on JFK files at American filmmaker Oliver Stone — whose political thriller, “JFK,” made waves more than 30 years ago — will testify.
