American politician and former Wisconsin lieutenant governor
Francesca Hong leads a four-candidate field in Wisconsin’s governor race, while David Crowley is backing a bid as the field tightens. In Minnesota, race dynamics center on electability ahead of the U.S. Senate contest as progressives threaten to reshape the party’s trajectory.
Crowley has secured a narrow Democratic primary victory in Wisconsin and will face Republican Tom Tiffany in November. Hong’s near-win signals ongoing tensions within the party between centrist and progressive wings, with implications for the general election in a battleground state.
