(Reuters) -Wisconsin voters elected Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday, CNN and NBC projected, maintaining the court's 4-3 liberal majority in a setback for President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk, who had backed her conservative rival.

Susan Crawford, the winner of a key race to fill a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, was backed by national Democrats and made opposition to Elon Musk a centerpiece of her campaign.

A lot hinged on Tuesday's Supreme Court race. The future of America. The fate of civilization. Even the destiny of humanity. So said Elon Musk.

Elon Musk made himself the face of a humiliating political defeat in Wisconsin on Tuesday night. He’s rubbed cabinet members the wrong way and alienated several advisers close to President Trump. Republican lawmakers face angry questions about Mr.

Susan Crawford defeated Brad Schimel for a State Supreme Court seat in a race that shattered spending records and maintained a liberal majority on the court.

Elon Musk is downplaying the results of a Wisconsin state Supreme Court race that he had previously said could “determine the fate of Western civilization” after his candidate lost. Musk poured a record $21 million into a normally low-profile and non-partisan judicial race to try to get conservative Brad Schimel elected.

Members of Trump’s coterie are obsessed with ancient Rome and its collapse. But their interpretation of Roman history is based on common misconceptions.

Susan Crawford's convincing victory — and Elon Musk's role in the race — provided plenty of fodder for TV's late-night comedians Wednesday night.

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow claimed that a liberal candidate winning Wisconsin Supreme Court election was a referendum on President Trump and his senior adviser Elon Musk.
