Primary Elections Live Updates: Crowley, a Moderate Democrat, Defeats Hong in Wisconsin Primary for Governor

Key Points:

• In Wisconsin's Democratic governor primary, David Crowley, endorsed by Gov. Tony Evers, narrowly defeated progressive Francesca Hong, whose left-wing policies and past controversial statements worried moderate Democrats about her electability in the general election.
• Crowley's victory, seen as a win for the Democratic establishment, highlights voter concerns about electability over ideological purity, especially in a battleground state with a history of close presidential races.
• In Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, supported by prominent progressives, won the Democratic Senate primary and will face Republican Michele Tafoya in the general election, focusing her campaign on cost-of-living issues and positioning herself as a candidate of the people against big-money interests.
• South Carolina's special Senate primary reflects President Trump's influence in the Republican Party, with incumbent Lindsey Graham, endorsed by Trump, preparing for a runoff against House Freedom Caucus member Ralph Norman.
• Other notable primary outcomes include Lisa Demuth's win over Trump-backed Mike Lindell in Minnesota’s Republican gubernatorial primary, Michael Alfonso securing a GOP nomination in Wisconsin, and generational change in Connecticut where longtime Democrat John Larson lost a primary to Luke Bronin.
