Minnesota and Wisconsin Primaries to Test Progressive Influence in Democratic Races
The upcoming primary elections in Minnesota and Wisconsin are set to test the influence of progressive candidates within the Democratic Party. In Wisconsin, Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist, is leading the polls in the Democratic primary for governor. Her campaign has energized progressive voters, but some Democrats are rallying around more moderate candidates like Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the Democratic primary for an open U.S. Senate seat features a contest between U.S. Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, with immigration policy being a key issue. The outcomes of these primaries will shape the Democratic strategy for the November midterm elections.
