TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany, backed by former President Donald Trump, secured the GOP nomination for Wisconsin governor. He will face Democratic candidate Francesca Hong, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, in the November election. The race is viewed as a key opportunity for the GOP to flip the governorship in the battleground state.

Key facts
