Summary
Francesca Hong, the rising Democratic governor’s candidate in Wisconsin, is facing renewed scrutiny over past social media posts—including calling for the cancellation of Thanksgiving and expressing anxiety about “too many old white people” at a restaurant—amid her surge in popularity and progressive platform.

The race heats up as voters weigh her bold policies against the fallout from her controversial remarks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
