Liberal Victory in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Sparks GOP Concerns.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly's concession speech after losing to Judge Janet Protasiewicz has been criticized for lacking civility and disrespecting his opponent. Kelly called the campaign "deeply deceitful, dishonorable, despicable," and refused to officially concede to Protasiewicz. Conservative radio talk show host Steve Scaffidi believes Kelly's defeat and speech highlight a larger problem for the Republican Party, which needs to improve its messaging and candidate selection.

"Abortion at Center of Record-Breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court Election"

Wisconsin voters elected Judge Janet Protasiewicz, heavily backed by the Democratic Party, as the new state Supreme Court justice, setting the stage for challenges to the state’s abortion ban and a potential redrawing of electoral maps. The race was the most expensive judicial contest in U.S. history, highlighting the increasing partisan politics surrounding state courts. Protasiewicz's opponent, Daniel Kelly, was appointed by Republicans in 2016 but lost an election in 2020.

"Jan. 6 Participant and Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Stir Controversy"

Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Daniel Kelly is not bothered by the association with Scott Presler, a conservative activist who planned several "stop the steal" rallies and was on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Presler is backing Kelly and campaigning in Wisconsin on his behalf. Kelly said he "doesn't know anything about Jan. 6 or anything like that" and appreciates the work Presler is doing in Wisconsin. Kelly is challenging liberal Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz in the upcoming election.

Controversial Political Ads Dominate Wisconsin Supreme Court Race.

Conservative candidate Daniel Kelly is trailing in limited private polling for a crucial swing seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court, where victory would preserve conservatives' control over the court. His campaign has been outspent on TV by $9.1 million to nothing, with abortion rights driving Democrats to shovel enormous sums of money into the campaign. Kelly has promised help from unidentified outside groups, but it's unclear whether it will be enough to turn the tide of the battle. The election is already the most expensive judicial race in American history, with at least $27 million spent so far on television alone.
