Wisconsin primary election results show a close race

Democratic socialist Francesca Hong and centrist David Crowley are in a tight race in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, with less than one percentage point separating them as votes are still being counted. The primary reflects a broader divide within the Democratic Party between establishment candidates and progressives, as shown by Hong’s left-leaning policies gaining traction among voters. In Minnesota, progressive Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan won her Democratic primary, while Trump-backed Republican candidate Mike Lindell lost his nomination bid for governor. In Alabama, Rhett Marques secured a Republican primary victory with Trump’s endorsement.
