Summary
As of Tuesday night, the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary was too close to call as Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and socialist state Rep. Francesca Hong led the field. Hong, a democratic socialist, had held a substantial lead in the public polls. The eventual Democratic nominee will face Rep. Tom Tiffany, who won the Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, NBC News projected.
Furthermore, If the margin is 0.25% or less, the state pays, otherwise the candidate does. Candidates outside of Hong and Crowley played a significant role, pulling a combined 20% of the vote. Hong has a trail of controversial statements, including vocal support for defunding the police in 2020, a position she now disavows.
In addition, If no one reaches 50% of the vote Tuesday -- that’s right -- there will be another runoff, this one on Aug. With 75% of votes in, Crowley and Hong were separated by less than a 1-point margin.
