David Crowley is projected to have won a primary election to become the Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor, in a surprise result that halts a winning streak for the party's left wing. Crowley, the more centrist candidate, has secured a narrow victory over Francesca Hong, according to a projection made early on Wednesday by the BBC's partner, CBS News. Crowley will now face off in November against Tom Tiffany, who easily won the equivalent Republican contest. Crowley, the chief executive officer of the state's Milwaukee County, posted on X to say it was time to "get to work". Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Darline Graham Nordone advanced to a run-off vote later this month in a special Republican primary for the US Senate which was held following the death of her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham.
