WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press declared that Dane County Judge Susan Crawford won a pivotal seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court based on the large leads she built in the state’s population centers and Democratic strongholds. That outweighed Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel’s leads in more Republican areas across the state.

The Dane County Circuit Court judge’s victory guarantees that liberals will control the court until at least 2028.

Crawford's victory cements liberal control of the court until at least 2028 and marks a defeat for President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
