Wisconsin, Minnesota primaries are next to feature progressive clash with Democratic establishment
Progressive candidates are making late pushes as party leaders warn a leftward shift could weaken Democrats in November.
- Progressive candidates in Wisconsin and Minnesota are making final pushes ahead of Tuesday's primary elections, testing the strength of the Democratic establishment amid internal party tensions.
- In Wisconsin, democratic socialist Francesca Hong faces Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley in a chaotic four-way Democratic primary for governor, with Crowley holding the endorsement of popular Gov. Tony Evers.
- The Republican Governors Association has spent nearly $3.6 million through its Right Direction Wisconsin PAC on ads targeting Hong; Democrats argue these ads aim to boost her standing against Republican Tom Tiffany.
- Tensions follow a Michigan Senate primary where Abdul El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, fueling Democratic leaders' fears about shifting left; U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar faces a six-person primary in Minnesota.
- President Trump recently attacked Hong as a "communist," citing a 2020 social media post. With Republicans holding legislative majorities since 2011, Democratic control of the governor's office remains a central goal for November.
