Former President Obama endorses David Crowley for Wisconsin governor

David Crowley received a major endorsement Thursday in Wisconsin’s tight race for governor. Former President Barack Obama threw his support behind the Milwaukee Democrat, saying “There is nobody better to lead Wisconsin forward.” The 44th President’s endorsement comes just a day after President Donald Trump reaffirmed his endorsement of Crowley’s Republican opponent, Rep. Tom Tiffany. The two presidents’ dueling endorsements come just over a week after polling showed Crowley had a narrow 3% in the race among likely voters. That number shrank to 1% when all registered voters in the poll were factored in.
