"Wisconsin Supreme Court Liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley to Retire, Shifting Balance of Power"

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley announced her retirement, putting liberals' majority on the state's highest bench at stake in the upcoming election to replace her. The race is expected to focus on issues like abortion rights and redistricting, following a 2023 election that gave liberals their first majority in 15 years. Democrats praised Bradley's tenure and warned of the potential consequences if conservatives were to retake the majority, especially on the issue of abortion. The upcoming election is likely to have significant political ramifications in the battleground state and could further escalate tensions on the court.
