Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court election isn’t just about who wears the robe—it’s about who draws the lines. According to conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a liberal win next Tuesday could lead to the elimination of two Republican congressional districts.
Schimel sounded the alarm on The Ingraham Angle, pointing to his opponent’s leaked Zoom call with the state Democratic Party chair and Reid Hoffman, a Silicon Valley billionaire and major Democratic donor. The promise? Flip the court, and use it to erase GOP seats.
“They said the quiet part out loud,” Schimel told Laura Ingraham. “Get her elected, and the court becomes a tool for partisan gerrymandering.”
That sentiment was echoed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who reportedly pushed the same strategy: install a friendly judge, and let the court rewrite Wisconsin’s political map.
What’s at Stake?
This isn’t just another off-year race. It’s the first major political contest since the 2024 presidential election—and the ideological balance of Wisconsin’s highest court is up for grabs.
- Current split: 4-3 liberal majority
- What’s changing: Liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is retiring
- What a Schimel win means: Court flips back to a conservative majority
And with that shift comes potential reversals—or at least rebalancing—on:
- Redistricting and legislative authority
- Abortion law interpretation
- Union-related rulings
The Most Expensive Court Race in U.S. History
More than $100 million has been poured into this race, with national names joining the fray. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have backed Schimel. Barack Obama is behind his liberal opponent, Judge Susan Crawford.
This isn’t just Wisconsin’s fight—it’s a national one.
Why It Matters for 2025 and Beyond
This race is a test of momentum. A liberal win could set the stage for more aggressive court-led policy pushes. A conservative victory? It signals that voters still want checks on activist judges and coastal billionaires trying to buy power in middle America.
April 1st isn’t just Election Day—it’s judgment day for Wisconsin’s political future.
