The Wisconsin Supreme Court debate has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 2nd after it was postponed Wednesday when liberal candidate Chris Taylor was diagnosed with kidney stones.
The debate, originally set for Wednesday night, will still be held at Marquette University next week but will not have a live audience. It will be broadcast on WISN-TV and across the state on various stations as originally scheduled.
Taylor’s campaign says she was admitted to the hospital Wednesday morning after waking up feeling sick. After undergoing several tests, the campaign says Taylor was diagnosed with kidney stones.
“This afternoon Judge Taylor was diagnosed with kidney stones and will rest and recover for the next couple days before returning to the campaign trail,” a campaign spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “Judge Taylor will soon launch a statewide tour to meet voters across Wisconsin and we are committed to rescheduling today’s debate next week on a date that works for WISN, debate partners, and our opponent’s campaign.”
Lazar’s campaign agreed to the April 2nd date, which would be the latest ever for a Supreme Court debate. The Spring Election is the following Tuesday, April 7th.
