Susan Crawford Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford secured a decisive victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, defeating Republican-backed Brad Schimel, who had endorsements from Donald Trump and Elon Musk. This outcome ensures a liberal majority on the court until at least 2028, influencing key issues like reproductive rights and redistricting in Wisconsin. The election was notable for its record-breaking campaign spending, with substantial contributions from billionaires, including Musk, who donated heavily to support Schimel. Despite these efforts, Crawford's campaign successfully framed the race as a fight against Musk's influence. The Associated Press announced Crawford's win shortly after polls closed, confirming a continued liberal presence on the court amid national political tensions.
