In Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley emerged with a narrow victory over state Representative Francesca Hong, a result that reflects less a mandate than a moment — the party's perennial negotiation between pragmatism and principle playing out at the ballot box. A timely endorsement tipped undecided voters toward Crowley's moderate lane, but the closeness of the contest signals that the progressive current Hong channeled runs deep in the Democratic electorate. The nomination is won; the coalition, not yet.
