Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat David Crowley will win the Wisconsin governor election, Bloomberg reports, citing the projection it posted on X. Townhall says Crowley has won and reports, citing Decision Desk, that he led Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany 54.25 percent to 45.75 percent. NewsNation and PBS NewsHour, which post live results, name Crowley and Tiffany as the matchup. Crowley, a two-term Milwaukee County executive, beat democratic socialist Francesca Hong in the Democratic primary by a razor-thin margin, according to NewsNation. No official certified result is reported in the supplied coverage.
