Ron Johnson Says 'We Have to Thank Elon' If Schimel (R) Wins Wisconsin

During an online forum with Elon Musk to promote conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said “we have to thank Elon” if Schimel wins the April 1 election.

The forum, during which Musk and Schimel also spoke, took place Saturday on Musk’s social media platform X. Early voting has already begun for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, which will determine the ideological balance of the court just two years after liberals captured the majority.

Political action committees with ties to Musk have spent at least $11 million helping Schimel, a Waukesha County judge, in his race against liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford. More recently, Musk gave $2 million directly to the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Throughout the 30-minute Saturday forum, Musk claimed that if Crawford wins, the court’s liberal majority will try to redraw Wisconsin’s congressional voting maps in order to weaken Republicans’ majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
