Some Progressives Avoid Francesca Hong Amid Turbulent Primary Season: ‘I Don’t Know Her’
Progressives say a Hong victory could boost their 2028 prospects, but Democrats warn her electability remains a major hurdle against a Trump-backed Republican.
- On Tuesday, Wisconsin voters head to the polls for the Democratic gubernatorial primary, where state Rep. Francesca Hong enters as the clear front-runner with a commanding polling lead.
- Governor Tony Evers' decision not to seek reelection opened the race, sparking debate over the Democratic Party's ideological direction in one of the country's most closely divided states.
- State Navigate's final survey shows Hong holding 44 percent support, a 22-point lead over Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley at 22 percent, with supporters showing stronger commitment to her candidacy.
- Democratic officials are planning a post-primary unity tour to bridge internal infighting, as the eventual nominee prepares to face Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany in November.
- Progressive organizers view a potential Hong victory as a test for future presidential cycles, though senior Democrats remain concerned about her ability to win over moderate voters in the purple state.
