Obama and Trump again opposing candidates in Wisconsin state Supreme Court race | USAEMALL.com

While reports indicate that the Wisconsin state Supreme Court election is nonpartisan, partisan battle lines have been clearly drawn, with former President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump backing opposing candidates in the contest.

Obama named Judge Susan Crawford as the “only one candidate ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites,” in a tweet on Tuesday, urging voters to cast their ballot early, rather than waiting until the April 1 Election Day.

But while Obama is supporting the candidate backed by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Trump has endorsed the state’s former Republican Attorney General Judge Brad Schimel.

And like Obama, Trump has urged Wisconsinites to vote early.

“Brad Schimel is running against Radical Left Liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers ‘light’ sentences. She is the handpicked voice of the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country — And if she wins, the Movement to restore our Nation will bypass Wisconsin. All Voters who believe in Common Sense should GET OUT TO VOTE EARLY for Brad Schimel,” Trump declared in a Truth Social post last week.
