After Michigan, Democrats' next battleground over the party's future shifts to Wisconsin

MADISON, WI (AP)— Wisconsin is the latest state where the battle over the direction of the Democratic Party will play out.

The state's primary for governor to be decided on Tuesday features a democratic socialist against a candidate endorsed by Governor Tony Evers.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley is trying to ride the Evers endorsement to a win in a year when voters upset with mainstream Democrats have propelled outsiders to victory. Francesca Hong is tapping into that anger in her candidacy to move Wisconsin to the left.

It's been a chaotic primary with Crowley rejoining the race last month after Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez ended her candidacy.
