Wisconsin Democrats look to harness anger with Musk in court race
Wisconsin Democrats are launching a full-court press against Elon Musk as they look to use angry voter sentiment against him as a tool to turn out voters in the high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
The state party this week launched “The People v. Musk,” a seven-figure campaign including digital advertising, organizing efforts and town hall events, among other aspects, geared toward Democrats as they look to tie Musk to conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
Democrats argue Schimel would be a “puppet” for Musk if he were to win the April 1 election, which will determine partisan control of the high court.
The effort underscores how vital it will be for both sides to turn out their respective bases in an off-year spring election and could potentially offer Democrats a playbook for how to galvanize anger around Musk in other elections later this year.
