Summary
Joel Anderson and Brian Bennett analyze the surprising Wisconsin gubernatorial primary, where moderate David Crowley narrowly defeated socialist Francesca Hong despite polling deficits.

The hosts also critique AOC’s dismissal of “woke 1.0” as a concession to centrists and cover Michelle Tafoya’s win in the Minnesota Senate primary.
