Liberal candidate Susan Crawford secured a decisive victory over conservative Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, winning by a 10-point margin. This result maintains the court’s 4-3 liberal majority and marks a setback for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, both of whom backed Schimel.
Crawford flipped 10 counties that previously voted for Trump, signaling shifting voter sentiment. The race, with over $100 million in spending, became the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history. Musk’s financial backing of Schimel—exceeding $20 million—failed to sway the outcome.
With a record turnout of nearly 2.4 million voters, key issues like abortion rights and redistricting played a crucial role in Crawford’s victory. Her win is expected to influence future court rulings and energize Democrats ahead of upcoming elections.
Crawford emphasized judicial integrity in her victory speech, stating, “Justice does not have a price,” highlighting public resistance to billionaire influence in judicial races.
