Democrat-backed Susan Crawford won the closely-watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history.

Susan Crawford’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election victory over a conservative candidate backed by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk cements a liberal majority on the state’s top court for at least three more years.

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow claimed that a liberal candidate winning Wisconsin Supreme Court election was a referendum on President Trump and his senior adviser Elon Musk.

By contrast, Republicans and conservatives have only reached 50% of the Wisconsin vote twice since 2018 in 12 elections for president, Senate, governor and state Supreme Court. Conservative court winner Brian Hagedorn got 50.2% in 2019 and Republican Sen. Ron Johnson got 50.4% in 2022.

Three spring elections have provided early warning signs to Republicans and President Donald Trump. The conservative Wisconsin judge endorsed by Trump and backed by Elon Musk and his groups to the tune of $21 million lost by a significant margin in a state Trump won in November.

Democrats celebrated after the liberal-leaning candidate won an election on Tuesday for a seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court, protecting the liberal majority on the bench.

President Donald Trump‘s former senior campaign adviser Jason Miller said Wednesday that Republicans need to get “aggressive” following the Democrat-backed victory in Wisconsin‘s Supreme Court special election.
