"Key takeaways from Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates' lone debate clash over abortion and democracy"

In the only debate of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, liberal judge Janet Protasiewicz accused her conservative opponent, Daniel Kelly, of being a "true threat to democracy" over his ties to a scheme to overturn the 2020 election. The race is of deep importance to both liberals and conservatives, as a win by Kelly would retain conservative control of the court, while a win by Protasiewicz would result in a liberal majority and could determine the fate of issues like abortion rights in the state. The debate was marked by attacks and accusations, with both candidates spending most of their time re-litigating accusations they’d made in their campaign ads.
