Democratic Primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota Highlight Progressive-Moderate ContestsPreviousNext

Democratic primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota showcased contests between progressive and moderate candidates. In Wisconsin, the gubernatorial race between progressive Francesca Hong and moderate David Crowley remained too close to call, with the winner set to face Republican Tom Tiffany in November. In Minnesota, progressive Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan won the Democratic Senate primary against moderate Angie Craig. These races highlight ongoing debates within the Democratic Party about its direction ahead of the 2026 midterms, amid concerns about electability in competitive states.
