Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly defeated socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic primary for governor, a win that could revive the center-left's standing after recent primary losses. Though a blow to progressives, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a progressive, secured a significant victory over moderate Rep. Angie Craig in Minnesota's Senate primary. In other key races, Trump-endorsed Sen. Darline Graham advanced to a GOP runoff in South Carolina, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar won her Democratic primary for governor. Connecticut Rep. John Larson, a 14-term incumbent, was defeated by former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, marking another incumbent loss this year. Wisconsin Democrats now face the challenge of uniting after the party establishment actively worked to prevent Hong's nomination, fearing her socialist views would jeopardize their chances in the general election. Governor Tony Evers publicly endorsed Crowley, expressing concerns about Hong's electability against Republican Tom Tiffany, whose campaign explicitly highlighted Hong's past controversial social media posts. The November election in Wisconsin will be historic, potentially seeing either the state's first Black governor in Crowley or the first governor elected after voting to overturn the 2020 presidential results in Tiffany. Republicans reportedly viewed Hong as the weaker candidate, spending millions to support her, but now face Crowley, whom they appear to have feared. Despite supporting Hong, many progressive Democrats may unite behind Crowley to prevent Tiffany from becoming governor, given his stance on the 2020 election. Hong's campaign struggled as her controversial remarks came to light and prominent progressive leaders like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez withheld endorsements, leading voters to question her electability.
