Democrats are putting a lot of pressure on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race.
Declared the most expensive in judicial history this week, it’s not only an early test for Democrats looking to regroup after federal losses in 2024, but also a watershed moment for billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, whose super PAC has poured millions into the race — at least, that’s how the Democrats are casting it.
This is “the first race since November in which Elon Musk has made one candidate his personal priority. Musk has now put more money into helping Brad Schimel than any donor has ever invested in any candidate for a judicial office in American history,” Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, told NOTUS. “If voters reject Brad Schimel and elect Susan Crawford, it does demonstrate that Elon Musk is a political liability.”
