Tuesday's Wisconsin Supreme Court election, the only statewide race before November, tests opposition to the Trump Administration. Candidate Brad Schimel, backed by Elon Musk's multi-million contributions, aims to secure a conservative majority. Competing against Susan Crawford, the race entails unprecedented spending, potentially reaching a hundred million, marking it the costliest judicial election in U.S. history. The outcome could shift judicial power significantly after a recent liberal majority victory showed progressives' influence in state politics.
The race, already the most expensive judicial election in American history, is likely to cost a hundred million dollars, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
Schimel, who, if elected, would give conservatives a majority on the court, began dropping hints that he could use more of Musk's help.
