Wednesday August 12, 2026 (9:04 am EDT)
The polls, the gambling sites, prediction markets....they were all wrong when it came to Tuesday's Democratic primary race for governor of Wisconsin.....very wrong. Sites like BetOnline had Francesca Hong as the -4000 favorite to win, and she didn't. He opponent, David Crowley, paid out $1000 for every $100 bet with the narrow half a percentage point victory. Crowley, the Milwaukee county executive, is vying to become Wisconsin’s first Black governor and pitched himself as the candidate best positioned to win in November against Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who is endorsed by President Donald Trump. Among Hong's more controversial positions prior to Tuesday's race included the defunding of police and abolishing the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
