2026年6月14日，威斯康星州州长候选人曼德拉·巴恩斯在威斯康星州民主党2026年代表大会上发表演讲，地点为威斯康星州麦迪逊。
前威斯康星州副州长曼德拉·巴恩斯于周四退出州长竞选，距离民主党初选仅剩不到两周时间，这打乱了接替托尼·埃弗斯州长的竞选格局。
在社交媒体发布的一段视频中，巴恩斯表示，“我们的候选人人选已经非常明朗了。”
尽管他没有点名这位候选人，但民主社会主义议员弗朗西斯卡·洪在近期民调中处于领先地位。目前，洪的主要初选对手是密尔沃基县行政长官戴维·克劳利。
巴恩斯呼吁民主党人团结起来，击败美国共和党众议员汤姆·蒂法尼——这位候选人几乎铁定将成为这个长期处于摇摆状态的州的共和党提名候选人。
在视频中，巴恩斯表示他于周三晚间与团队进行了“一场非常艰难的对话”。
“现在，我们是时候团结起来，集中精力”击败蒂法尼了，他说。“我们必须竭尽所能击败汤姆·蒂法尼。这对威斯康星州民众来说是生死攸关的大事。”
巴恩斯是两周内第二位退出该竞选的主要候选人。本月早些时候，副州长萨拉·罗德里格斯——埃弗斯连任团队的二号人物，巴恩斯曾在该民主党州长的第一任期内担任同一职位——也结束了自己的竞选活动。
他的退出增加了威斯康星州州长竞选成为关键试金石的可能性：随着2028年民主党总统初选临近，这场竞选将检验一名民主社会主义候选人在这个必争的总统摇摆州的大选中的表现。

Former Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes dropped his bid for governor on Thursday, scrambling the race to replace Gov. Tony Evers less than two weeks from the Democratic primary.
In a video posted to social media, Barnes said that it’s “very clear who our nominee is going to be.”
Though he didn’t name her, democratic socialist lawmaker Francesca Hong has led recent polls. Hong’s chief rival for the nomination is now Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
Barnes called on Democrats to rally to defeat Republican US Rep. Tom Tiffany, who is all but certain to be the GOP nominee in the perpetual battleground state.
In the video, Barnes said he had a “very difficult conversation” with his staff Wednesday night.
“Now, it’s our time to come together, to focus our efforts” on defeating Tiffany, he said. “We have to do everything to beat Tom Tiffany. This is life or death for Wisconsinites.”
Barnes is the second major candidate to drop out of the race within two weeks. Earlier this month, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez — Evers’ second-term No. 2, holding the post Barnes held for the Democratic governor’s first term — also ended her campaign.
His exit increases the likelihood that the Wisconsin governor’s race becomes a critical test case, with the 2028 Democratic presidential primary looming, of how a democratic socialist candidate performs in a general election in a must-win presidential battleground.
