Democratic Gov. Tony Evers defeated Republican business executive Tim Michels in Wisconsin Tuesday night to win reelection in one of the nation’s most tightly divided states.
Wisconsin’s general election for governor was the most expensive in the nation this year, and the results after another tight campaign foreshadow the state’s status as a presidential battleground once again in 2024. President Joe Biden made an appearance in Wisconsin at the beginning of the fall campaign season, and former President Donald Trump rallied for Michels in August.
The results mean that Evers will still be able to veto bills passed by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature. That has been a theme of his governorship: The Democrat issued more vetoes in the last four years than any previous Wisconsin chief executive.
