Wisconsin voters have elected a liberal justice to the state’s Supreme Court, with Susan Crawford defeating Elon Musk-backed Brad Schimel in the most expensive judicial election in American history and one of the first major electoral tests of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Crawford’s projected victory in a closely watched race for control of the court — serving as a proxy battle over the nation’s political future in the wake of Trump’s chaotic first few months back in the White House — will preserve a 4-3 liberal majority on the state’s highest court, which could decide on litigation involving abortion access and voting rights, among other critical issues.
