David Crowley is projected to have won a primary election to become the Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor, in a surprise result that dents a winning streak for the party’s left wing. But in Wisconsin, the governor’s race in November will be contested by Crowley and 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”. In neighbouring Minnesota, candidate Peggy Flanagan secured the Democratic nomination for the upcoming US Senate race, defeating her more centrist opponent Angie Craig. Last week, for example, Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for Michigan’s US Senate seat, beating Congresswoman Haley Stevens.
