MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court has won, defeating President Donald Trump’s endorsed challenger. Susan Crawford’s victory Tuesday cements a liberal majority for at least more three years. In doing so she overcame massive spending from groups funded by billionaire Elon Musk on behalf of her opponent. Crawford defeated Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that broke records for spending and became a proxy fight for the nation’s political battles. Trump, Musk and other Republicans lined up behind Schimel, a former state attorney general and supporter of President Donald Trump. Billionaire megadonor George Soros and other Democrats backed Crawford. Her win keeps the court under a 4-3 liberal majority.
