Musk's Millions & Trump's Shadow: A Supreme Court Showdown in Wisconsin!

2025-04-01 12:03:19.004

Tuesday's Wisconsin Supreme Court election emerged as the first major political battle since President Trump's return, testing his popularity and the impact of Elon Musk's political spending. The race between liberal Susan Crawford and conservative Brad Schimel, backed by Trump and Musk, will determine the court's ideological balance, impacting abortion rights, voting rules, and more. Over $90 million has been spent, making it the most expensive judicial race in US history. Trump's endorsement is seen as crucial for Schimel, while Democrats try to frame the race around Musk's influence. Meanwhile, Florida's special elections for two vacant House seats, though less publicized, could provide Republicans with more seats in the House. The Republican candidates are favored in districts Trump won by significant margins. While some concerns exist about Fine's performance in Florida, minimal Democratic investment suggests an upset is unlikely. Both state's elections will offer insights into voter sentiment and strategies for the upcoming midterms.
