MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Spending by billionaires including Elon Musk and George Soros has helped to push total spending on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race won by the Democratic-backed candidate over $100 million, the Brennan Center for Law reported Friday.

As spending for Wisconsin's Supreme Court race surpasses more than $80 million, some are wondering if the state is reaching a tipping point.

Billionaires such as Elon Musk and George Soros contributed to over USD 100 million spent on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race where Democratic-backed Susan Crawford won.
