Voters head to0:09the polls tomorrow, [music] August 11th,0:11in several states, including Wisconsin,0:13where the Democratic primary [music]0:15will decide who advances to the general0:17election in a battleground state. The0:19lead comes after a shaken field0:20reshuffled support [music] in the final0:22days. Lieutenant Governor Sarah0:24Rodriguez dropped out of the Democratic0:26primary while Milwaukee County Executive0:28[music] David Crowley suspended his0:29campaign and then re-entered. On the0:31Republican side, Representative Tom0:33Tiffany stands [music] as the0:34presumptive nominee for governor. Tom0:36Tiffany has about $8 million banked, a0:38total that dwarfs the rest of the field0:40by roughly 10fold and gives him an0:42immediate financial edge [music] heading0:43toward the general election. Countering0:45that cash gap, the Democratic Governor's0:47Association says it is willing to invest0:48in Wisconsin because it believes any0:50Democratic nominee could beat Tiffany.0:52[music] Hong says she is more closely0:54connected with the Madison chapter,0:55which is her home community, anchoring0:57her identity as a Democratic socialist0:59candidate running in a purple state.1:00[music] Madison is the base Hong points1:02to as her political home, a connection1:04she emphasizes while leading a fractured1:06Democratic field [music]1:07into a contest where fundraising and1:09national party investment could shape1:10the general election. This account comes1:13from a single broadcast report that has1:15not yet received broader independent1:17confirmation. Tomorrow's vote locks the1:19matchup and will test whether momentum1:21for a Democratic socialist frontr runner1:23can overcome a 10 to1 cash disadvantage1:25and a fractured Democratic field and1:28whether national party money follows to1:30contest a race where the Republican1:31already holds the fundraising advantage.1:34For more stories that matter, like and1:36subscribe.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗
