Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley pulled off a stunning upset Tuesday in Wisconsin\u2019s Democratic gubernatorial primary, defeating socialist frontrunner Francesca Hong after polls showed him trailing by double digits just days before the election.<\/p>\n

Decision Desk Headquarters called the race early Wednesday morning for Crowley, who reentered the contest only weeks before the primary and earned the backing of outgoing Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.<\/p>\n

The result marked a dramatic reversal from pre-election polling, which had shown Hong, a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, with a commanding lead over the rest of the Democratic field. One of the final polls before Election Day showed Hong leading Crowley 44% to 22%.<\/p>\n

Hong\u2019s apparent collapse also spared Wisconsin Democrats from nominating a candidate whose past comments about abolishing the police, canceling Thanksgiving, and other controversial positions had become fodder for Republicans ahead of November\u2019s general election.<\/p>\n

Evers, who backed Crowley after he reentered the race, had openly warned that Hong would face difficulty defeating Republican nominee Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI).<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she\u2019s in a tough place. She has spent her entire campaign dealing not with the issues, but what\u2019s on the Twitter, and I just find that that\u2019s not a good way to beat Tom Tiffany,\u201d Evers said in the campaign\u2019s homestretch. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be tough\u2026but I think she\u2019s at a real disadvantage, especially since she spends a lot of time talking about Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hong, a 37-year-old state representative and part-time bartender, had ridden a wave of leftist enthusiasm to become the race\u2019s surprise frontrunner, setting off a late scramble among establishment Democrats to stop her.<\/p>\n

Former Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes dropped out of the Democratic primary in late July as Hong surged in the polls, appearing to concede at the time that her nomination was inevitable.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night I had a very difficult conversation with staff,\u201d Barnes <\/span>said in a social media video<\/span>. \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of all the things that we\u2019ve accomplished and all the resources that we have raised to spread our message. But it\u2019s become very clear who our nominee is going to be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But Crowley\u2019s late return to the race ultimately gave Democrats an alternative to Hong, who generated national headlines over a series of old social media posts and leftist policy positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cCancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621,\u201d she said in a deleted 2020 social media post. \u201cIf it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed indigenous folx and women, so be it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hong has also criticized other major American holidays, saying she doesn\u2019t like fireworks ahead of Independence Day, dismissing Halloween as \u201cnot my thing,\u201d and claiming Valentine\u2019s Day brings out \u201cthe worst of humanity\u201d on a day when \u201ccapitalism tells you how to show love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hong\u2019s rise drew national attention but did not result in endorsements from two of the country\u2019s most prominent Democratic socialists, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).<\/p>\n

Crowley will now face Tiffany, the Republican nominee, in November as both parties battle for control of the governor\u2019s mansion after Evers decided not to seek another term.<\/p>\n

Tiffany has centered his campaign on affordability and reducing the size and cost of state government.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s get control of our utility rates, which have been skyrocketing $2 billion plus in the last eight years. Let\u2019s get control of the red tape and let\u2019s also audit all of state government,\u201d Tiffany said on Fox News over the weekend. \u201cIt is one of the most popular issues amongst people that I\u2019m talking to at this point. Boy, let\u2019s root out the fraud and waste because we know what\u2019s happening here in Wisconsin also.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
