    In Madison, Wisconsin, President Donald Trump urged his supporters to vote for a candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court who had strong support from Trump’s adviser Elon Musk.

    “All Voters who believe in Common Sense should GET OUT TO VOTE EARLY for Brad Schimel,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

    Trump made this call just over a week before the April 1 election that will decide the court’s majority, currently held by liberal justices since 2023. The outcome will influence crucial issues such as abortion rights, congressional district boundaries, and future voting regulations in the state for the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

    Schimel responded to Trump’s endorsement with a statement expressing his gratitude: “I’m honored to have the backing of our President,” he stated. He continued, “On April 1, Wisconsin conservatives need to come together to bring objectivity back to our Supreme Court and protect our state, just as we did in November.”

    Schimel, a former Republican attorney general, is a Trump backer who had previously said he would welcome an endorsement from the president. He also appeared at a rally with Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., in March, posed for a picture in front of a giant inflated Trump and attended Trump’s inauguration in January. Schimel has also benefited from more than $12 million spent by groups funded by Musk.

    One of the mailers used by the Musk group says that Schimel would back Trump’s agenda from the Supreme Court. Trump Jr. stressed that a Schimel win was needed to protect his father’s agenda. And Schimel told a group of Turning Point USA canvassers earlier this month that he needs to be elected to be part of a “support network” for Trump.

    “Donald Trump doesn’t do this by himself; there has to be a support network around him,” Schimel said, according to a video of his comments posted on YouTube. “They filed over 70 lawsuits against him since he took the oath of office barely a month ago, over 70 lawsuits to try to stop almost every single thing he’s doing because they don’t want him to get a win. ”

    Schimel has also echoed unfounded concerns about unproven voter fraud that Trump raised following his 2020 loss.

    Despite all of that, Schimel has repeatedly said he would not let his feelings about Trump impact any rulings he would make on the state Supreme Court, which came one vote away from reversing Trump’s loss in Wisconsin in 2020. Trump won the state in both 2016 and 2024.

    “If President Trump or anyone defies Wisconsin law and I end up with a case in front of me, I’ll hold them accountable as I would anybody in my courtroom,” Schimel said during a March debate.

    Schimel faces Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford in the election for an open seat. Liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority on the court. Whoever wins will be elected to a 10-year term that begins in August.

    On Truth Social, Trump called Crawford “the handpicked voice of the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country — And if she wins, the Movement to restore our Nation will bypass Wisconsin.”

    A spokesman for Crawford’s campaign said, “Schimel has spent his entire career on bent knee to right-wing special interests, we assumed he had this endorsement locked up months ago.”

    This isn’t the first time Trump has gotten involved in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race. He endorsed the conservative candidate in the 2023 whose loss led to liberals taking control of the court for the first time in 15 years.
