Wisconsin voters have elected Susan Crawford to the state’s Supreme Court, keeping the court’s 4-3 liberal majority. Her victory is a defeat for former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, who supported her conservative opponent, Brad Schimel.

The election was seen as an early test of Trump’s influence. It became the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, with more than $90 million spent by candidates, political parties, and outside groups.

Crawford, a county judge, defeated Schimel, a former Republican attorney general. With 75% of the votes counted, she led by 55% to 45%, a difference of about 178,000 votes. Schimel conceded the race in a speech to his supporters.

Musk and political groups linked to him spent over $21 million to back Schimel. Crawford positioned the race as a fight against outside billionaires.

“I never imagined that I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won,” Crawford said in her victory speech.

Her win ensures the state’s highest court remains under liberal control, which could impact key legal decisions in the future.
