Republican in WI Supreme Court Race Makes Compelling Closing Argument in New Interview

Former Wisconsin attorney general and Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel is running for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and that race is in the home stretch with the election taking place on Tuesday.

Earlier, my colleague Ward Clark wrote about former Republican presidential candidate and Badger state governor, Scott Walker, stressing how important winning this race is for the GOP to maintain the slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and bolster President Trump's ability to carry out his agenda for the American people. More on that in a minute.

Judge Schimel made a clarion call on "Fox & Friends Weekend," rallying every Republican and conservative in the state to "make their voices heard" on Tuesday.

Then on "Fox News Sunday" this week with host Shannon Bream, Schimel returned to expand on his own closing argument to Wisconsin voters--and it's a compelling one.

Schimel told the host that his Democrat opponent, radical Soros Judge Susan Crawford, "got caught by the NY Times of all places, with an email that went out to national, billionaire donors. It said 'come on to a Zoom call, and we'll teach you how taking the Wisconsin Supreme Court can change two Republican congressional seats to Democrat seats.'"

He continued:

Then earlier in the week...last week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries got caught saying the same thing.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) concurs that Jeffries cannot be allowed to take the speaker's gavel:

Please, Wisconsin

Don’t make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker https://t.co/Dapgcu5yms

Judge Schimel added that the donations for Judge Crawford are mostly from out of state, with "four out of five" not even living in Wisconsin.

Bream notes that FNC also extended an invitation for Crawford to appear "numerous times," but she declined.

During a Zoom call with Townhall Media, Gov. Walker shared his take on the latest polling in the contest, showing a "dead heat," making turnout the key to victory.

He said “the latest poll was commissioned by WMC, the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce...a statewide chamber. It was a dead heat, 47 up," adding that "[w]ith all the money that Soros and Company put in early months ago, [Crawford] had a slight advantage."

Walker continued:

About two-and-a-half, maybe three months ago, we convinced Elon Musk to get engaged here and that has leveled the playing field. It’s all going to be about turnout.

Wisconsin voters will also be deciding on a state constitutional amendment to enshrine voter ID into law.

There has been no shortage of alluring endorsements from cultural figures, including from former Green Bay Packers QB, Brett Favre:

Then there's this one during a concert in Milwaukee on Saturday night; a thumbs-up from Kid Rock never hurts. He urged fans to pull the lever for Schimel "to keep the country going in the f*****g right direction":

Warning: coarse language
