Trump&#8217;s endorsement comes after he labeled Schimel&#8217;s opponent, Susan Crawford, a &#8220;radical left liberal&#8221; and a &#8220;Soros-funded lunatic.&#8221; This contest has garnered substantial national attention and funding,viewed as a pivotal test for Trump&#8217;s influence and a chance for conservatives to regain control of the court. If schimel wins, he would flip the majority back to conservatives; if Crawford wins, liberals would secure a 4-3 majority.<\/p>\n<p>Crawford has faced criticism for engaging with major Democratic donors and is campaigning to redraw the state&#8217;s congressional maps, which Republicans currently dominate. Meanwhile, billionaire Elon Musk has entered the fray, supporting Schimel with substantial funding and pledging financial incentives for voters who oppose &#8220;activist judges.&#8221; Amidst escalating financial contributions, notably from Crawford&#8217;s campaign, Schimel emphasized the urgency of voter turnout, citing the meaning of this election not only for wisconsin but for the entire country. The election is portrayed as a key moment for Trump&#8217;s broader political agenda.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Jumping on the phone to &ldquo;save the country from the people trying to destroy it,&rdquo; President Trump telephonically campaigned with conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Brad_Schimel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brad Schimel<\/a> on a &ldquo;tele-town hall&rdquo; Thursday evening to rally the troops ahead of Tuesday&rsquo;s nationally watched election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m asking everyone to get out and vote for a great American patriot, tough-on-crime Brad Schimel,&rdquo; Trump said during the brief call with Schimel supporters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/03\/24\/trump-endorses-conservative-in-very-important-wi-supreme-court-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">endorsed<\/a> the Waukesha County judge a week ago, calling Schimel&rsquo;s opponent, Dane County Judge <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Susan_Crawford_(Wisconsin)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Susan Crawford<\/a>, a &ldquo;radical left liberal &hellip; the handpicked voice of the Leftists who are out to destroy your State and our Country.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The president didn&rsquo;t mince any words again during Thursday&rsquo;s tele-rally, calling Crawford a &ldquo;deranged left-wing [George] Soros-funded lunatic.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>&lsquo;Two Additional Seats&rsquo;<\/h2>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal has billed the contest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/opinion\/the-wisconsin-supreme-court-showdown-politics-elections-court-judge-a47aecd6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;the most important election of 2025.&rdquo;<\/a> It has attracted national attention and record spending as a first test of Trump&rsquo;s second term, and for the national shadow it casts. If Schimel wins, conservatives will take back the court after losing control in 2023 for the first time in 15 years. If Crawford wins, liberals will hold a 4-3 majority for the next few years.
