CNN’s Saenz: Wisc. Democrats See Win as ‘Referendum’ to Elon Musk

EXCERPT:

SAENZ: “Of course, this will now, as CNN is projecting the race that Susan Crawford, the liberal candidate, will defeat the conservative candidate, this is now ensuring that the liberal majority on the state Supreme Court will stay in control. It comes at a time when there‘s a lot of hot-button issues that could come before the court, things like abortion rights and congressional maps as well. But it also comes as Crawford and her Democratic allies have really sought to turn this campaign into a referendum of Elon Musk. I can tell you, crisscrossing the state over the past week, that is something that we repeatedly heard from Crawford at each of her campaign events, saying that Musk involvement in the race should be concerning for voters, and it seems that, at least in these results that are starting to come in tonight, that some voters have bought into that argument. So we do anticipate that Susan Crawford will be speaking at some point here tonight. I‘m actually told that all four liberal justices who are currently on the Supreme Court are expected to appear with her at some point, so we will see what she — what kind of message she has for Wisconsin voters, but also potentially for the nation as Democrats are eking out this big win here in the battleground state of Wisconsin."
