Spending in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race that could determine the court’s ideological majority has surpassed $90 million.
The two candidates, conservative Judge Brad Schimel and liberal Judge Susan Crawford, will face off on April 1. Both candidates have raised millions of dollars and garnered attention from some prominent names in politics, including Elon Musk, whose Department of Governmental Efficiency has slashed funding for government projects and cut thousands of federal jobs.
Matt Smith, the politics director of WISN 12 News in Milwaukee, Wis., joined Minnesota Now to talk about the race and how it could have impacts in Minnesota and around the country.
