Wisconsin result dents winning streak for Democratic Party's left wing

David Crowley is projected to have won a primary election to become the Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor, in a surprise result that halts a winning streak for the party's left wing.Crowley, the more centrist candidate, has secured a narrow victory over Francesca Hong, according to a projection made early on Wednesday by the BBC's partner, CBS News.Anti-establishment Democrats had previously notched up victories across the US that had rattled the party leadership in Washington. Others on that wing outside Wisconsin did record wins on Tuesday.Crowley will now face off in November against Tom Tiffany, who easily won the equivalent Republican contest.Crowley, the chief executive officer of the state's Milwaukee County, posted on X to say it was time to "get to work".He reiterated that his missions were "making life more affordable, strengthening our schools, creating good-paying jobs, and making sure opportunity reaches every corner of our state".Tiffany, meanwhile, currently serves as a US congressman and has the backing of US President Donald Trump. He has also emphasised affordability issues, running on a platform that includes lowering taxes, supporting farmers and improving healthcare.
