In a remarkable turnout for an off-year election, liberal candidate Susan Crawford has defeated her opponent, Brad Schimel, in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, marking a significant setback for high-profile supporters like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. This election has been highlighted as the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, fueled by unprecedented spending from multiple sources, including significant contributions from out-of-state donors. The outcome has evoked reactions of disappointment among Republicans, as voter sentiment appears to reject external influences in the race. Analysts are now questioning the future political influence of Musk, whose substantial investment did not sway the election in favor of his endorsed candidate. This victory for Democrats is seen as a crucial win in the ongoing political battle for control over key judicial positions, raising questions about the implications for future elections in the state.
