Democratic-backed Susan Crawford wins Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, cementing liberal majority
"Crawford's victory preserves a 4-3 liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, bolstering support for social issues such as abortion rights and worker protections."
"The election was not just about the court; it became a referendum on Trump's influence and Musk's controversial policies in Wisconsin."
Susan Crawford, backed by Democrats, won a key election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court against Republican Brad Schimel, endorsed by Trump and Musk. This race not only maintained a 4-3 liberal majority but was viewed as a national rollercoaster of political pressures. High spending characterized the election, with Crawford championing abortion rights and union power, while Schimel's campaign painted her as a Democratic tool. The results signal voter sentiment about Trump’s presidency and Musk’s approach to governance, ensuring liberal influence on the court through at least 2028.
