President Donald Trump has officially endorsed conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, urging voters to turn out early for the pivotal April 1 election.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned that Schimel’s opponent, liberal candidate Susan Crawford, has a record of handing down lenient sentences to criminals, calling her the “handpicked voice of the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country.” He emphasized the importance of the election, stating that if Crawford wins, the movement to restore America “will bypass Wisconsin.”
“Brad Schimel is running against Radical Left Liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers ‘light’ sentences,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Schimel, currently a Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge and former Wisconsin Attorney General, expressed his gratitude for Trump’s endorsement, calling it a “deep honor.” He underscored the stakes of the race, urging conservatives to unite in order to restore fairness to the state’s highest court.
In a statement, Schimel said he is “humbled and deeply honored” to get Trump’s endorsement.
“The stakes of this race could not be any higher,” he said. “On April 1, Wisconsin conservatives must unite to restore objectivity to our Supreme Court and save our state like we saved our country in November. The job is not done. We cannot allow America’s success to bypass Wisconsin.”
With control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court hanging in the balance, this election could have major implications for the state’s judicial landscape. Early voting is already underway, making voter turnout a crucial factor in the outcome.
