David Crowley’s razor-thin Wisconsin primary win sets up match against Trump pick
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — David Crowley’s razor-thin primary win over a democratic socialist in swing state Wisconsin sets up a match against a congressman who…
David Crowley, the Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor, achieved a narrow primary win over Francesca Hong, setting the stage for a potential clash with Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany. This matchup presents a favorable scenario for Democrats and a challenging one for Republicans, who have consistently supported Tiffany's voting record.
Crowley confidently criticized Tiffany as a "MAGA extremist" and pledged to bring together a broad coalition to defeat him. Former Republican Governor Scott Walker cautioned Tiffany to focus on the key issue of who will govern Wisconsin, rather than the controversial federal policies. Although Trump won Wisconsin in both 2024 and 2016, he lost in 2020, making this election even more pivotal.
Democrats are optimistic about the shift in focus from their primary to the general election against Tiffany, hoping to leverage Trump's declining approval ratings to secure control of the governor's office and both chambers of the state legislature for the first time since 2010.
