Candidates made final pushes before Tuesday’s Wisconsin and Minnesota primaries, where progressive campaigns are testing Democratic establishment support. The contests could shape Democrats’ chances in November.
In Wisconsin, democratic socialist Francesca Hong is competing in a four-way Democratic gubernatorial primary against Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, whom Gov. Tony Evers endorsed. Republicans have spent millions on ads contrasting Hong with President Donald Trump, while Evers and Crowley say she would be easier for Republicans to defeat. The article also describes U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany as a likely November opponent and notes his Trump endorsement.
In Minnesota, U.S. Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan are competing in the Democratic Senate primary. Craig called for restrictions on corporate campaign spending and limits on stock trading by members of Congress; Flanagan argued that corporate and special-interest influence affects both parties. The winner is expected to be the front-runner to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith. The article also briefly surveys primaries in Connecticut and other states.
