Washington, April 02 (HS): Today, the victory of Judge Susan Crawford in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is dominating headlines in the U.S. Media coverage highlights her win as a significant setback for President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

Crawford, a Democrat, emerged victorious against conservative candidate Brad Schimel, who had prominent support from Trump. This result is viewed as a hopeful sign for Democrats, as it marks a defeat for the president's chosen candidate in a key political contest early in Trump's second term.

The election became the most expensive judicial race in American history, with Musk reportedly investing millions of dollars in support of Schimel. At her victory rally in Madison, Crawford expressed gratitude to the voters, stating that they had pushed back against threats to the Supreme Court and affirmed that justice is not for sale. She referenced Musk’s financial influence without naming him directly.

A private attorney for Planned Parenthood and a supporter of abortion rights, Crawford will serve a ten-year term. Notable figures like former President Barack Obama and Senator Bernie Sanders congratulated her, with Obama praising her commitment to the rule of law and Sanders highlighting her win over Musk.
