Hughes said Sara Rodriguez is best positioned to win in November as six candidates remain in the Democratic primary.
- On Monday, Missy Hughes suspended her campaign for Wisconsin governor and endorsed Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez, narrowing the Democratic primary field ahead of the August 11 election.
- Hughes, the Democratic field's most moderate candidate, withdrew days after placing last in a straw poll at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin state convention in Madison.
- Rodriguez led the poll with 27%, followed by state Representative Francesca Hong at 23% and state Senator Kelda Roys at 19%, with six Democratic candidates remaining in the primary race.
- Kelda Roys' campaign dismissed the endorsement, stating it "has no impact on the state of the race," even as Hughes urged other candidates to consolidate around Rodriguez.
