The Wisconsin Supreme Court race has turned into a heated battle as candidates Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel clashed in their only debate before the April 1 election.
Both accused each other of partisanship, with Crawford criticizing Schimel for receiving over $10 million in support from Elon Musk, while Schimel pointed to Democratic donors like George Soros backing Crawford. The debate touched on key issues such as abortion rights and union protections, highlighting the court's potential impact on major legal decisions. The race has also seen record-breaking campaign spending, making it one of the most expensive judicial elections in Wisconsin history.
With high stakes and deep political divisions, the outcome could shape the state's legal landscape for years to come.
