A nonprofit backed by billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk is getting involved in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler joins Morning Joe to discuss.
Wisconsinites voted for Donald Trump by a narrow margin in November.

As Wisconsin voters weigh the future direction of the state Supreme Court, a group backed by Elon Musk is hitting local airwaves.

He also sent Department of Justice staff to monitor the polls in heavily Democratic areas in that election, which Democrats viewed as voter intimidation.
