Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) has secured the Republican nomination to run for governor of Wisconsin, securing victory with relative ease shortly after the polls closed. Tiffany secured the nomination with 95 percent of the vote, scoring over 350,000 votes by the time the race had been called in his favor. His closest opponent, Andy Manske, earned just 16,000 votes, roughly 4.3 percent. In July, Tom Tiffany’s campaign notably raised $10 million, “with contributions from all 72 counties in the state and more than 10,000 small-dollar donors,” Breitbart News reported. “Our grassroots campaign is reaching all 72 counties because the demand…

Normally, waiting on an absentee vote drop from your home county would be reassuring in a close race. But as David Crowley’s team waits for Milwaukee County results, they have a major concern: He wasn’t even in the race for 10 days of early voting. The incredible tightness of the results combined with the wild Democratic governor primary, which saw three major candidates drop out — including Crowley, who then got back in — has created an unpredictable finish to a bizarre race. One Crowley ally said they believed there were enough votes left in Milwaukee for the county executive…

One of the towers of Colombia’s tallest cathedral collapsed on Monday during the devastating 7.4 earthquake that struck the South American nation.

During CNN’s Election Night coverage on Tuesday, CNN Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny discussed the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary and said that there were people he spoke to who liked Francesca Hong and “enjoyed her policies, but they were worried about electability.” Zeleny said that while Hong’s supporters thought they would win the race early, that hasn’t happened.

Even some of the most self-described liberal-leaning progressive voters expressed some concern and caution about Francesca Hong. Yes, they said they liked her. Yes,…

Democratic socialist Francesca Hong, widely considered the front-runner heading into Tuesday, is essentially tied with Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Crowley’s own allies are surprised by his strength — and Hong is underwater in bellwether suburban counties and rural areas across the state. One Democratic operative working on progressive campaigns said they were stunned by how “poorly” Hong was performing. The person, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly, added that half of the contacts in their phone were “pulling their hair out upset” while the other half “are like thank god…
