Wisconsin will hold its gubernatorial election on November 3. Incumbent Democratic Governor Tony Evers is not seeking a 3rd term, and the Democratic and Republican parties will hold primaries on August 11. Francesca Hong, David Crowley, Kelda Roys, and Joel Brennan are still vying for the Democratic nomination. Republican primary candidate Tom Tiffany, endorsed by Trump, is the main GOP contender. An RMG Research survey conducted on July 30 showed Hong at 44% support and Tiffany at 43%, while Crowley had 46% support and Tiffany 43%.

Trump's national approval rating has dropped to 35%. An SSRS survey indicates that 71% of Americans want the government to take more actions to control prices, with 74% stating that rising gas prices have put economic pressure on them.

Mandela Barnes withdrew from the Democratic primary on July 30. A survey by Marquette Law School previously revealed Hong with 38% support and 34% of Democratic primary voters undecided. The Wisconsin court ruled this week that voters who have returned absentee ballots cannot revote. The latest financial disclosures show Crowley raised about $776k in July, Hong raised about $339k, and Tiffany raised over $4.6 million, with over $4 million coming from state GOP transfers.
