In the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, a tight race is underway between Francesca Hong and David Crowley. Hong, a democratic socialist, is facing challenges in her stronghold of Dane County, where Crowley is keeping pace. The outcome in Dane County will be crucial, as Crowley is also struggling in his home county of Milwaukee. The Democratic Party's internal dynamics are at play, with recent twists and turns, including endorsements and withdrawals, shaping the race. The winner will face off against the Republican nominee in the general election, in a state that last elected a Republican governor twenty years ago. This race highlights the ongoing ideological battle within the Democratic Party and the potential for a competitive gubernatorial race in Wisconsin.
