Progressives and establishment-backed Democrats set to clash in Wisconsin and Minnesota primaries - live

Key Points:

• Democratic primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota highlight a clash between progressive and centrist candidates, with Wisconsin's Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist, leading the race for governor and Minnesota's Peggy Flanagan competing for the US Senate nomination against centrist Angie Craig.
• These primaries follow a recent progressive victory in Michigan's Senate primary, energizing left-wing voters but raising concerns among Democratic leaders about electability in key battleground states ahead of the November midterms.
• On the Republican side, Minnesota sees seven candidates competing for governor to challenge likely Democratic nominee Amy Klobuchar, while North Carolina Republicans have nominated Jennifer Balkcom to replace Chuck Edwards amid a sexual harassment scandal.
• Additional political developments include President Trump’s secret military flight from Turkey due to an assassination threat, controversial changes to the childhood vaccination schedule, and the swearing-in of Todd Blanche as US attorney general.
• South Carolina is holding a special Republican primary to replace the late Senator Lindsey Graham, with multiple candidates vying for the nomination ahead of the November general election against Democrat Annie Andrews.
