President Donald Trump urged his supporters to vote early for Brad Schimel, a candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court who has received strong support from Trump’s adviser Elon Musk. The election, set for April 1, will determine the court’s control, which currently has a majority of liberal justices. The outcome will impact various important issues and voting rules for future elections in the battleground state. Schimel expressed gratitude for Trump’s endorsement, emphasizing the need for conservatives to unite in restoring objectivity to the Supreme Court. Despite his ties to Trump and funding support from Musk-backed groups, Schimel has claimed that his rulings would not be influenced by his personal feelings towards Trump. The election will pit Schimel against Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford for an open seat on the court. Trump has criticized Crawford as the choice of leftists aiming to undermine the state and the nation.
The result was liberals gaining control of the court, marking the first time in 15 years.
