During an interview on ABC News, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said that “Woke 1 was crazy” when trying to defend Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong. ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked about Hong’s previous statements about abolishing the police and that Americans should “cancel Thanksgiving.” “My understanding is that — is that Francesca Hong has made clear her present stances to her electorate,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “She’s moved away from it, and I have a local city councilman that has this saying, ‘Woke 1 was crazy.'”

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley beat Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in a come-from-behind victory during the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary Tuesday night. Crowley was ahead of the 37-year-old state representative and member of the Democratic Socialists of America 39.8% to 39.4% when the race was called by the Associated Press at 3:34 a.m. Surveys ahead of the Badger State Democratic contest had consistently showed Hong besting Crowley by double digit percentage points. Crowley had also dropped out of the race weeks before and even endorsed another opponent, before re-entering the contest and receiving the backing of outgoing Gov. Tony Evers

President Donald Trump is leaving the door open to declaring a national security emergency over the 2026 midterm elections, stating Monday that "stranger things have happened." Conservative commentator and Real America's Voice host Wayne Allyn Root made the suggestion in an interview, noting that it could be done if the Senate fails to pass the SAVE America Act when it returns from its recess next month. The host commented that if the president does declare a national security emergency and federalize the elections, then he would get everything he wanted without needing the Senate's assistance.
