Progressive vs. Establishment Showdowns Define Wisconsin and Minnesota Primaries
TL;DR
Ahead of Aug. 11 primaries, Wisconsin’s Democratic governor race pits progressive Francesca Hong against establishment-backed David Crowley, with Gov. Tony Evers campaigning for Crowley and Republicans spending heavily to boost Hong as the easier matchup against Tom Tiffany. In Minnesota, moderates and progressives clash in the Senate primary between Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a contest shaped by immigration debates and heavy fundraising. The dueling races illustrate a Democratic intra-party tug between progressive energy and establishment priorities in key battleground states following Michigan’s recent primary.
