MADISON, WI (AP)— David Crowley’s razor-thin primary win over a democratic socialist in swing state Wisconsin sets up a governor’s race against a congressman who has voted with President Donald Trump 100 percent of the time.
It’s a dream scenario for Democrats and a potential nightmare for Republicans.
Crowley overcame Francesca Hong in dramatic, narrow fashion in Tuesday’s primary, stunning pundits and pollsters who had long placed Hong as the front-runner.
Now Crowley's challenger, U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany, must pivot to face a Democrat known for working across the aisle with Republicans as the county executive in Milwaukee, the state’s largest source of Democratic voters.
