Wisconsin businesses say they 'dodged a bullet,' rejecting high taxes as democratic socialist lost primary

Wisconsin businesses "dodged a bullet" after democratic socialist candidate Francesca Hong lost the Democratic primary to a more moderate candidate, according to the CEO and president of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC).

"My flip answer would be to open up a history book and learn how socialism has failed everywhere it's been tried, and it would fail here in Wisconsin as well. So from that perspective, we've dodged a bullet in the state of Wisconsin," Kurt Bauer, WMC president and CEO, told Fox News Digital.
