Trump and Musk Back Schimel in Pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

  • Elon Musk amplified Trump’s endorsement on social media, calling for voter mobilization in Wisconsin.
  • The election will decide the partisan majority of the court, which is currently evenly split following Justice Ann Walsh Bradley’s retirement.
  • Record-breaking campaign spending has highlighted the stakes, with tens of millions of dollars invested by both sides.
  • Both candidates face scrutiny over judicial records, with Susan Crawford defending past sentencing decisions and Schimel addressing criticism of his tenure as Wisconsin Attorney General.
