Trump Endorses Brad Schimel in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

The endorsement highlights the stakes of the April 1 election, which could shift the ideological balance of the court and influence national politics.

Donald Trump endorsed conservative candidate Brad Schimel, urging early voting and framing the race as pivotal for conservative priorities.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race will determine the balance of the state’s highest judicial body, currently evenly split after a liberal justice’s retirement.
Record-breaking campaign spending of over $76 million has made this the most expensive judicial contest in U.S. history.
Elon Musk has contributed over $13 million to Schimel’s campaign, while Susan Crawford, Schimel’s liberal opponent, faces criticism over her sentencing record.
Polling indicates a tight race, with Crawford slightly ahead in some surveys, as early voting continues ahead of the April 1 election.
