David Crowley won the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary, defeating progressive candidate Francesca Hong by a narrow margin. Crowley received 39.80% of the vote compared to Hong’s 39.38%, a difference of approximately 0.42 percentage points despite Hong leading by double digits in pre-election polls. The outcome represents a significant upset for progressive Democrats and follows a similar pattern of polling leads collapsing on election night. Crowley, a more moderate Democrat, received backing from Governor Tony Evers, which may have contributed to his victory. Hong may request a recount, as Wisconsin law allows for one when the margin remains within 1%.
