The Democratic National Committee (DNC) launched his very first advertisement that was purchased on Friday at Elon Musk and the millions of dollars he injected into the Wisconsin Supreme Court-Race, with an example of what could be a broader strategy for the in the future in the party.
The DNC advertisement -purchases, which are planned to walk on Tuesday in seven local newspapers in Wisconsin, focus on the $ 19 million Musk and his affiliated PACs have spent on behalf of the conservative candidate, Brad Schimel, in a high deployment of the State Supreme Court that will determine whether the court will retain its current 4-3 liberal majority.
Musk “has threatened Medicare, stripped social security services, and now he thinks he can buy a place for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court,” said DNC chairman Ken Martin in a statement. “That is why the DNC is today with our first paid media that Musk explicitly calls for his attempts to interfere with the Wisconsin elections.”

DNC functionaries told Fox News Digital that the advertisements will run in seven local newspapers throughout the state – the Chippewa Herald, the Manitowoc Herald Times reporter, the Beloit Daily News, the Daily Jefferson County Union, the Janesvders and the Watertownnn Daily Daily Message, “Wisconsin is not for sale.”
“Wisconsinites deserve a justice from the Supreme Court that looks out for them, not the ultra-rich,” said Martin. “Now and forever, Wisconsin is not for sale.”
The meticulous Supreme Court of the State in Wisconsin is already the most expensive judicial elections in American history, with a total of more than $ 81 million in spending and much overshadowing of the $ 56 million spent on the race of the Supreme Court only two years earlier, according to figures compiled by the Brennan Center for Justice.
Musk’s Two Super PACs issued more than $ 17 million on behalf of Schimel, while Musk personally donated $ 3 million to the Republican Party in Wisconsin earlier this year – money that in turn can be used for the Schimel campaign.

President Donald Trump and Musk have thrown their weight behind the conservative candidate Schimel, where Trump himself stumps for Schimel during a Tele-Stad Hall event on Thursday evening and the race invoices as one “Hyphottened impact on the future of the country. “
“I know you think it is room, but it is not,” Trump said and added: “The whole country is looking.”
In the meantime, former President Barack Obama and other remarkable Democrats have thrown their weight behind liberal opponent Susan Crawford, the current Dane County Circuit Judge whose campaign has attracted more than $ 25 million in financing for the race.

Democrats, for their part, see the race as fruitfully proven grounds to test their attack on Musk while they want to keep a critical chair of the State Supreme Court in Wisconsin and prepare for the 2026 interim elections.
The efficacy of the advertising campaign in Wisconsin, one that barely chose Trump in both the presidential matches of 2016 and in 2024, can still be seen.
However, it comes when Democrats have had difficulty gathering around an unprofing message in the aftermath of the 2024 elections, which can make Musk and his Department of Government efficiency (doge), more attractive goals.

A larger majority of 59% said that Trump’s freezing spending and his closure of federal agencies are outside his government agency.
