Trump Warns That Wisconsin Court Race Could Derail His Agenda

President Donald Trump is urging conservatives to recognize the high stakes in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, calling Judge Brad Schimel’s election essential to keeping his administration’s plans intact. Early voting has already begun, with the final decision coming April 1.

Trump described liberal candidate Susan Crawford as a threat to public safety and constitutional order. He said her record of lenient sentencing and her ties to left-wing donors make her unfit to serve on the state’s highest court.

Schimel responded by thanking the president and reminding voters that judicial rulings can shape not just state laws, but also national policies. He said conservatives must act now or risk losing control of the court.

Democratic strategists have made no secret of their goals. Internal fundraising emails outlined their hopes to challenge district boundaries and gain two Republican-held U.S. House seats — something only possible if Crawford wins and future redistricting cases go their way.

Millions have already been spent on both sides, with Musk-backed organizations supporting Schimel and Soros allies lining up behind Crawford. National media outlets have called it the most expensive court race in U.S. history.

Conservatives in the state are taking the warning seriously. Events featuring Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk have drawn hundreds, emphasizing the connection between this race and Trump’s broader agenda.

Wisconsin GOP Chairman Brian Schimming said the court decision could determine whether Trump’s policies survive or are struck down. He said that by voting for Schimel, conservatives can ensure their voices still count.

Schimel’s campaign has focused on law and order, judicial restraint and protecting the Constitution — themes that resonate strongly in Republican counties.
