Trump faces setback in Wisconsin as liberal judge elected to state Supreme Court in closely contested election
ai generated text
A liberal judge, Susan Crawford, has been elected to a 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, defeating conservative Brad Schimel. This outcome marks a significant victory for Democrats in Wisconsin and a personal defeat for Elon Musk, who had funded Schimel's campaign through his America PAC political action committee, which also supports President Trump.
Today, Wisconsinites defended against an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our equitable elections, and our Supreme Court. Wisconsin has firmly declared that justice cannot be bought; our courts are not for sale.
It's like one of those strange situations where a seemingly small election would determine the fate of Western civilisation here.
