The April 1 election for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court is a critical battleground, with the outcome determining whether liberals maintain a 4-3 majority. Key issues like abortion, union rights, election law, and redistricting are at stake, potentially reshaping Wisconsin’s political map and impacting national congressional balance.
Billionaire George Soros is heavily funding progressive efforts in the race, aiming to secure a liberal majority that could redraw congressional districts to favor Democrats, undermining Republican priorities and President Trump’s agenda.
Figures like former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Elon Musk are warning about Soros’ influence, with Musk supporting GOP-backed candidate Brad Schimel. Schimel has criticized Soros’ funding of progressive causes, such as defunding police and undermining election integrity.
Soros-linked groups like MoveOn and Indivisible are organizing “astroturf” protests—fake grassroots movements—to pressure Republican lawmakers and disrupt conservative agendas. These tactics have been deployed nationwide, including in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin race is a microcosm of the broader ideological struggle in America. A Soros-backed victory could lead to gerrymandering, weakened election laws, and a rollback of conservative policies, with far-reaching consequences for the nation’s political future. Conservatives are urged to act to preserve principles of limited government, law and order, and fair elections.

The battle for the soul of America is being waged in Wisconsin, where the upcoming state Supreme Court race has become a flashpoint for the nation’s ideological divide. At the center of this storm is George Soros, the Hungarian-born billionaire whose deep pockets and progressive agenda are threatening to derail President Donald Trump’s plans and reshape the political landscape. With Elon Musk sounding the alarm, conservatives are waking up to the existential threat posed by Soros-funded operatives and their relentless push to undermine Republican priorities.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court: A battleground for America’s future

The April 1 election for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court is no ordinary judicial race. It’s a high-stakes showdown that will determine whether liberals maintain their 4-3 majority on the court, with major cases on abortion, union rights, election law, and congressional redistricting hanging in the balance. The outcome could reshape Wisconsin’s political map, potentially squeezing out two Republican congressional seats and handing Democrats a critical advantage in Congress. Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a stalwart conservative, has been vocal about the stakes. “Do the math. The vote on Tuesday night was 217-215. George Soros is pulling millions into the WI Supreme Court race because a 4-3 liberal majority will redraw Congressional districts to squeeze out 2 GOP seats,” Walker wrote on X. “This is how he blocks the Trump agenda. We can’t let that happen.” Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and head of the Department of Government Efficiency, echoed Walker’s concerns, stating that derailing Trump’s agenda “is exactly [Soros’] goal.” Musk’s involvement in the race, supporting Republican-backed candidate Brad Schimel, has drawn fierce criticism from Soros-backed Democrats, who accuse him of pushing an “extreme agenda.” But the real extremism lies in Soros’ decades-long campaign to fund progressive causes that undermine law enforcement, erode election integrity, and advance radical policies.

Soros’ dangerous influence: A history of subversion

George Soros is no stranger to controversy. Through his Open Society Foundations, he has funneled billions of dollars into progressive initiatives worldwide, often destabilizing governments and undermining conservative values. In the United States, Soros has bankrolled district attorney campaigns to elect soft-on-crime prosecutors, funded efforts to defund the police, and supported organizations like MoveOn and Indivisible, which have orchestrated protests against Trump and his allies. Schimel, the GOP-backed candidate, has been outspoken about the dangers of Soros’ influence. “I don’t think these two things compare,” Schimel said, referring to Musk’s support versus Soros’ donations. “I don’t think they equate at all.” He added that Soros has “very dangerous ideas for America,” citing his support for groups working to reduce funding for police. Meanwhile, Soros-backed candidate Susan Crawford has dismissed concerns about her donor’s influence, claiming she has “never made any promises” to her contributors. But her campaign’s reliance on Soros’ money—$1 million of which was funneled through the state Democratic Party—raises serious questions about her independence.

Astroturf protests and the Soros playbook

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is just one front in Soros’ broader war against conservative governance. Recent revelations have exposed how Soros-linked organizations like MoveOn and Indivisible are orchestrating “astroturf” protests—fake grassroots movements designed to pressure Republican lawmakers and disrupt Trump’s agenda. In February 2025, MoveOn launched a nationwide “Congress Works for Us, Not Musk” campaign, targeting GOP lawmakers in key districts. The group’s press release boasted of rallies and town hall actions designed to “fight back against the Trump-Musk agenda.” Indivisible, another Soros-funded group, has urged its members to use “Town Halls & Empty Chair Town Halls” to pressure vulnerable Republicans. Musk has been quick to call out these tactics. “Pushing fake outrage will backfire on them,” he warned on social media. But the damage is already being done. In Wisconsin, Indivisible organized a protest during a town hall hosted by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), where 100 activists brandished anti-Trump signs. Similar protests have erupted across the country, with Soros-backed groups targeting GOP lawmakers in Arizona, California, and Georgia. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has also condemned the protests, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that many of the town hall disruptions were orchestrated by “paid protesters.” Documents from Indivisible confirm that the group reimburses members up to $200 for expenses related to their “Musk Or Us” actions.

The stakes for America

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is more than a local election—it’s a microcosm of the broader struggle for America’s future. If Soros succeeds in flipping the court, it could pave the way for gerrymandered congressional districts, weakened election laws, and a rollback of conservative policies. The consequences would reverberate far beyond Wisconsin, emboldening progressive activists and undermining Trump’s agenda on a national scale. Conservatives must recognize the gravity of this moment. The fight against Soros’ influence is not just about Wisconsin—it’s about preserving the principles of limited government, law and order, and free and fair elections. As Musk and Walker have warned, the stakes could not be higher. Sources include: RT.com WashingtonExaminer.com APNews.com
