Two days before the Wisconsinites went to the elections in the elections he tried to acquire, with more than $ 25 million in favor of the right candidate for the Supreme Court, and expensive efforts to mobilize voters against what he claimed – Note“This is one of those things that it may seem that it will affect the whole fate of humanity, but I think it will be.”
Musk becomes very wrong. But hopefully he was right in the importance of Tuesday’s elections.
Because last night, voters across the country Battleground in the country, from urban cities and cities of colleges, suburbs and rural settlements, delivered a stunning reproach for Musk money. But not only this: the gross attacks of President Donald Trump on the progressive candidate in the court competition, and the republican efforts to make a referendum race on an independent judiciary that oligarchs in Washington, including the president of the billionaire and the richest person in the world, which serves as a cut and wrapping.
Judge District Dane County Susan KroofordA candidate supported by a progressive American senator Baldwin, trade unions, supporters of abortion and LGBTC rights, and the Wesconsin’s rebellious Democratic Party, won former Prosecutor General Brad Shimel, Trump candidate, Moscow, corporate interests Preferred 55-45 stock.
The Crioford’s victory enshrined the existing 4-3 progressive majority in the powerful Supreme Court, which is expected to deal with decisive affairs on abortion, rights and voting rights. It was a big deal. But the elections were just as important with the -where it took place: the state that Trump narrowly won in November last year.
US spokesman Mark Pakan (D-Wi) summed up this message if he interpret On Tuesday evening, “Today’s Wisconsin elections in the Supreme Court were a referendum on Elon Musk and Donald Trump and the national party actions at the national level.
For his part, Musk immediately tried to pretend he didn’t care much about the results he used to be – Note “You can decide the future of America and Western civilization!” Instead, he – Note The Wisconsinites’ decision to consolidate the amendment to the voters to its constitution was “the most important”, which happened on Tuesday, despite the fact that the state had a demand for voters for ten years.
Celebrating his victory, Crawford, a lawyer for trade unions and planned parenthood, who carried out his first nationwide campaign, reminded his roots in the working class community in Western Wisconsin, saying“Growing in a waterfall chips, I could never imagine that I would take the richest person in the world for justice in Wisconsin … And we won.”
Crawford turned out to be a brilliant contender during the most expensive court race in American history. Candidates, parties and committees are expected to burn $ 100 million when all receipts are at least $ 25 million at least comes only with a thus.
Kruford was widely regarded as the winner of the only discussion with her opponent, which she called “Elon Shimel”. She kept her cool when Musk wrote big and big checks and Trump marked Her “radical left Democrat”. And she established the result of her race exactly in the correct conditions.
Current Issue
“Today, Wisconsinites reflected from an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections and our Supreme Court,” Craford said to her supporters. “And Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice has no price, our courts are not sold.”
There was no hyperbola in this statement. The race to fill the open place on the site after the decision of the progressive justice Anne Walsh Bradley retire, will always be a consequence. It was destined to determine whether the progressive or conservatives will control the state’s Supreme Court. And the decision of Musk and Trump intervened on behalf of Shimel made it the clear referendum, but in the first months of Trump. The question has never arisen that Shimel’s victory would be read as a revenge for Trump’s authoritarian program. This suggested that the richest person in the world’s money cannot be won in the ballot boxes.
But Wisconsin had other ideas. Drop on Tuesday Convenient victory For Jill, the mostly progressive, which participated in the new term as a state head of state instruction against the task with the well-maintained republican supporters of school vouchers-and it was clear that the state was not just to determine officially non-partisan competitions across the country. He rose against oligarchic excesses that came out of Washington and called for wakefulness for Republicans and Democrats across the country.
“Voters are angry with what Elon Musk and Donald Trump do in this country,” said the dynamic Democratic Party of Visconsin Ben Vicler, the results after the results were known. For Democrats who think to run for national, public or local positions, Vicler said, “This is time for running.” For Republicans who think about running, Vicler added: “Any politician with them may soon face the end of their political career.”
“Tonight,” Continued Wikler, “Democrats Got Up Off The Mat and Fought Back. The World’s Richest Man TRED to BUY WISCONSIN’S Democracy in Order to Corrupt Wisconsin’s Judiciary, BUT WISCONSINITES OUR State is not for Sale. “.
