Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : During the 2024 presidential election, Musk, the world's richest person, committed more than $200 million to America PAC's work on Trump's behalf in the seven most competitive states, including Wisconsin, where Trump won by fewer than 30,000 votes, less than a percentage point.
49% : Though America PAC declined to discuss details of its work, the group's commitment confirms Musk's uniquely powerful role in Republican politics as someone working closely with President Donald Trump and willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to boost Trump and his allies.
42% : The man next to him held one that simply said, "NO DOGE," referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, Trump's government cost-cutting effort, which Musk directs.
35% : Trump last year won Sauk -- split between Democratic-leaning areas closer to Madison and a more conservative rural northwest -- by 626 votes after Democrat Joe Biden won the county by 615 votes in 2020.
28% : Musk and America PAC are trying to elevate Schimel, who has attached himself publicly to Trump and Musk. America PAC representatives were working the crowd Friday at a Schimel rally in Beaver Dam, northeast of Madison.
