David Crowley Wins Wisconsin Democratic Primary

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Moderate Democrat David Crowley has won the Wisconsin primary for governor. He defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong. Crowley is vying to become Wisconsin’s first Black governor. He pitched himself as the candidate best positioned to win in November against Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who is endorsed by President Donald Trump. Supporters of Hong and others in the four-person field faulted Crowley for getting back in the race after he had quit in early July. Crowley locked up the backing of more mainstream Democrats, overcoming Hong’s insurgent campaign. Crowley didn’t address supporters Tuesday night but was expected at an event later Wednesday.
