The Spin

Democratic narrative

The election result rejects billionaire influence in state politics and the judiciary. It shows that Americans don't want Elon Musk running their federal government, and they don't want him to buy their local elections. Crawford's victory ensures the protection of fundamental rights and maintains crucial checks and balances in Wisconsin's democracy.

Republican narrative

The liberal victory threatens the stability of Trump's agenda and risks partisan redistricting that could cost Republicans crucial House seats. The outcome demonstrates how activist judges might legislate from the bench and undermine the constitutional separation of powers. However, this is a big win for Republicans, as voter ID was just approved in the Wisconsin election.
