reader Posted Wednesday at 03:22 AM Posted Wednesday at 03:22 AM From CNN Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford will win Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, CNN projects, maintaining the liberal majority on the court in a key battleground state less than three months into President Donald Trump’s second term. Crawford, a liberal circuit court judge in Dane County, will beat the conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge who received Trump’s backing in the final stretch of the campaign. The race was officially nonpartisan, but Crawford’s victory will be seen as a bright spot for Democrats in Wisconsin and nationwide as voters handed the president’s preferred candidate a defeat in the first major political test of the second Trump era. Crawford and her Democratic allies also worked to turn the election into a referendum on Trump ally Elon Musk, who poured millions of his personal fortune into the race. It quickly became the most expensive judicial contest in US history. Musk and groups affiliated with him spent more than $19 million in the state, including funding field operations and television advertisements. Crawford tied the tech billionaire directly to Schimel in her appearances, at times referencing Musk at “my opponent.” Democratic groups ran television ads linking the Tesla CEO to Schimel. In all, the candidates and outside groups spent more than $90 million — shattering spending records set just two years ago, when a liberal judge captured an open seat and flipped control of the court.

Members Suckrates Posted Wednesday at 03:28 AM Members Posted Wednesday at 03:28 AM In the end, The Village Idiot, hoping around with a rubber cheese hat was a big LOSER..... Wonder how daddy Trump is gonna feel about this ? However, Liberals were not so lucky in the 2 special Florida elections, with the Maga right wingers taking BOTH races. The right is not ready or willing to give up on MAGA agenda yet in deep RED Florida. They need to hurt a little more.... Give it another few months and circle back to them. TMax 1 Quote

Because That issue was already on the books as Policy, so its simply a continuing resolution in effect.... No smokescreen here. It was a clear and adamant Condemnation of Trump, Musk and MAGA agenda..... Musks money couldnt pack THAT court. And now if any of the investigations of Musk come to fruition, HE may need to ask Trump for a PARDON ? Quote
