Hasan Piker says he’s part of why Hong lost for Wisconsin governor

  • On Wednesday, Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong lost the Democratic gubernatorial primary to David Crowley, marking a significant defeat for the DSA-backed candidate as establishment forces consolidated support.
  • Streamer Hasan Piker reacted angrily on his livestream, blaming the "National media" and the "establishment" for Hong's narrow loss while warning that "The knives will be out" for party leadership.
  • Piker had aggressively promoted Hong during the campaign; just days earlier, he demanded Democrats unite behind Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, leading critics to question his consistency.
  • Critics including DSA Watch highlighted Piker's inflammatory rhetoric, noting his aggressive stance creates a disconnect between the DSA's radical wing and the American mainstream electorate.
  • The DSA's propensity for conflict makes party unity unlikely, and analysts suggest Crowley may face a difficult general election as a "lonely figure" without socialist backing.
