The election date has not been finalized, but the Knesset is expected to dissolve in the coming months.
Evers' Endorsement in Wisconsin Governor Race
Governor Tony Evers plans to back David Crowley, the Milwaukee County Executive, in the Democratic primary for governor. Crowley, a rising figure in state politics, now gains the sitting governor's support. The endorsement could consolidate Democratic support and shape the race as the primary approaches. Evers is not seeking re-election, leaving the field open.
Rodriguez Exits Amid Finance Scandal
Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez withdrew from the gubernatorial race weeks earlier. Her exit came as questions about her campaign finances surfaced. The scandal has not been fully detailed, but it prompted her to step aside. Rodriguez had been seen as a potential contender before the controversy emerged.
Crowley's campaign now moves forward with the governor's backing, while the investigation into Rodriguez's finances continues. On Polymarket, Eizenkot's lead may shift as new developments unfold in Israel's political landscape.
