In the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Judge Susan Crawford triumphed over Judge Brad Schimel, a conservative candidate who was backed by Elon Musk's significant financial support. This victory is crucial as it preserves the liberal majority, which will play a vital role in forthcoming rulings on pivotal issues such as abortion and labor rights. Meanwhile, in Florida, two Trump-endorsed Republicans secured special elections, reinforcing the GOP's slim House majority, yet the Democrats showed signs of increased mobilization, narrowing previously held margins in these contests.
"Elon Musk's millions weren't enough. Judge Susan Crawford, a liberal candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, overcame more than $25 million in spending by Musk to defeat her conservative opponent."
"Crawford's win maintains the liberal majority on the court, which faces key decisions on abortion and labor rights in the coming months, suggesting a reinvigorated Democratic base."
