Sanders doesn’t believe he will endorse Hong: ‘I don’t think so’
Sanders said Hong is not progressive enough for his backing as she seeks to become Wisconsin’s first woman governor.
- U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders stated he does not plan to endorse Francesca Hong, leaving the candidate without the backing of a prominent progressive leader in the Wisconsin governor's race.
- Historically, Sanders has waded into various gubernatorial contests, but he stated he generally avoids such races, complicating the campaign strategy for Hong in her bid for the nomination.
- Backing for the campaign has come from other progressives, as multiple national figures have campaigned alongside Hong in recent weeks.
- The lack of a high-profile endorsement provides an opportunity for opponents to challenge the frontrunner status of Hong in the upcoming election.
- Campaign records show Sanders has previously endorsed other candidates in the state, revealing the selective nature of his current non-endorsement regarding the gubernatorial race.
