Trump and Musk Back Schimel in Court Race

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race between conservative candidate Brad Schimel and liberal Judge Susan Crawford has become intensely partisan and expensive, with national implications. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have both thrown significant support behind Schimel, with Trump endorsing him on Truth Social and Musk's America PAC investing over $13 million in the race. Brett Favre also endorsed Schimel, emphasizing the race's significance for Wisconsin's future. The election, set for April 1, will decide the court's ideological majority, potentially influencing critical issues such as redistricting, abortion, and voter ID laws. Both sides are urging early voting, framing the election as a battle for the state’s and possibly the nation’s political direction. Despite Schimel's alignment with Trump's agenda, he has stated he would hold Trump accountable if he violated state laws.
