Democratic primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota are approaching, with progressive candidates challenging establishment-backed contenders. The article also describes the political fallout from Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan Senate primary win.
The article reports that Wisconsin voters are preparing to choose a Democratic gubernatorial nominee between candidates including Francesca Hong and David Crowley. Gov. Tony Evers endorsed Crowley, while Republican groups have spent money on ads featuring Hong; Crowley and other Democrats say the ads are intended to help her in the primary. Republicans are also holding a primary in the district represented by Tom Tiffany.
In Minnesota, Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Penny Flanagan are competing in a Democratic Senate primary. The article says the race has been shaped by federal immigration enforcement and the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Craig called for restrictions on corporate campaign spending and limits on stock trading by members of Congress; Flanagan argued that special interests influence elections. The winner will face the November election to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith.
