Democratic socialist Francesca Hong shakes up Wisconsin governor primary

Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist and former line cook, is challenging the establishment in Wisconsin's gubernatorial primary.

Tom Tiffany in the general election, with Democrats aiming to leverage President Donald Trump's low approval ratings to gain full control of the state government. AI
