The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Progressive Democrats Francesca Hong in Wisconsin’s governor primary and Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate primary are making final pushes before Tuesday’s votes, extending the party’s fight between its left and establishment wings. Hong, a Madison state lawmaker and democratic socialist, has become the front-runner after Gov. Tony Evers declined to seek a third term. In Minnesota, Flanagan, the DFL-endorsed lieutenant governor, faces Rep. Angie Craig for the open seat created by Sen. Tina Smith’s retirement, with immigration and state fraud allegations shaping the race.
