Why Polls Got Wisconsin Governor’s Race Wrong—After Socialist Francesca Hong Loses. • Kalshi betting odds gave Hong more than a 95% chance of winning on Tuesday.
Live: Democrats trying to make sense of David Crowley’s surprise victory pointed to a race that shifted dramatically in the last week. Francesca Hong seemed unpolished during national TV appearances; Gov. Tony Evers, still a popular figure in the party, was campaigning all over the state for Crowley; and many voters tuned in only in the race’s final days.
Hasan Piker's "Touch Of Death"? Far-Left Francesca Hong Loses Wisconsin's Dem Primary For Governor
Live: A super PAC tied to Republicans spent millions on outside ads boosting the campaign of Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist state representative and chef whom both parties saw as easier for the G.O.P. nominee to defeat in November. That effort failed, as the moderate David Crowley took the Democratic nomination.

Live: With a fluctuating and tiny margin separating David Crowley and Francesca Hong in the Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin, the state’s somewhat strict rules governing recounts could come into play. Changes passed by a Republican-controlled legislature and signed into law by then-Gov. Scott Walker in 2017 set the following rules: A recount can be requested by a losing candidate only if the margin is 1 percentage point or less. If the margin is 0.25 of a percentage point or less, the state will pay for the recount. If the margin is greater, the campaign requesting the recount foots the bill.

NEW - David Crowley's allies say he's doing much better statewide than they they thought he would - making the WI dem guv primary closer than expected against democratic socialist Francesca Hong in early results • • One key blow to Hong: Roys is currently holding her down in Dane - which should be Hong's stronghold • • Hong is performing well in some wealthier, white Milwaukee areas. But she’s under expectations in a lot of other places. Final MKE absentees could break for her though. • • Crowley, who went on a last-ditch barnstorming tour with Gov. Tony Evers to head off Hong as she consistently led in the polls, is also doing better than expected in the key WOW suburban counties outside Milwaukee. • • Crowley also notched “Bashar al-Assad numbers across the northside” of Milwaukee, said one Dem official. • • via @politico

How did this market resolve?
The Wisconsin Gubernatorial Democratic primary election is scheduled for August 11, 2026.
This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the Wisconsin Gubernatorial Democratic primary election.
For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first- and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher margin bracket.
If two candidates receive the exact same highest number of valid votes and both are listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for the tied candidate whose last name comes first alphabetically. If only one of the tied candidates is listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for that listed candidate. If neither tied candidate is listed, this market will resolve to “Other.”
This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official..
If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”.
The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the State of Wisconsin, such as official statewide results published by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (https://myvote.wi.gov/); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.
