Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Becomes National Focus with Heavy Spending and High Stakes

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election has evolved into a crucial political battleground, attracting significant financial contributions from prominent figures, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump. With both candidates rallying support and more than $76 million already spent, projections indicate total expenditures could exceed $100 million. Early voting commenced, highlighting enthusiasm on both sides as candidates Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford campaign intensively, with endorsements from influential personalities such as NFL legends and the former president himself. The election is perceived as a referendum on key issues including abortion and the influence of billionaires in politics, with local and national implications poised to reshape control of the state Supreme Court.
