Judge Susan Crawford said she “never could have imagined that I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin”.
A liberal judge has won a race for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court after defeating a challenger endorsed by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
Susan Crawford labelled her victory a win against powerful interests after a contest that the Democrats had framed as a referendum on the president and Tesla boss Musk, who is leading the government’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Her win also cements a liberal majority for at least three more years on the highest court in Wisconsin, a swing state.
