“The first, second and third questions for Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong at her meet-and-greet Thursday night revolved around her affiliation with the Democratic Socialists of America,” NOTUS reports.
“Voters described a ‘real fear’ she can’t win a general election for governor, questioned whether she’d tailor her policy platform to reach swing voters and asked for a primer on ‘what we can say to others when that concern comes up.'”
“This standing-room-only event captured Hong’s appeal — a packed, generationally diverse crowd, surrounded by dozens of hand-drawn signs for the once little-known state legislator — but it also reflected the angst of voters here. At times, it bordered on group therapy, with voters airing their concerns over Hong’s ability to win the governor’s race in a closely divided state that President Donald Trump won two years ago.”
