Ballots and Bucket Hats

Tuesday’s primary slate served some upsets.

Moderate Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley defied Wisconsin polls, narrowly beating State Representative Hong, a Democratic Socialist, for the swing state’s Democratic gubernatorial bid. He will face Republican Rep. Tiffany in November, who won his party’s nomination by a landslide.

In Minnesota, media outlets called the Republican gubernatorial primary for Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, but Trump-endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has not conceded. #47’s endorsement of Senator Darline Graham helped advance her to South Carolina’s August 25 Republican runoff against Representative Norman to replace her late brother on November’s ballot.

See all the primary results.

Across the pond, trashcan-wearing, “intergalactic space warrior” Count Binface threw his bucket in the ring to face controversy-laden Nigel Farage in a U.K. special election for Parliament (see Binface’s binface…).

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
If all the election news coming from every direction is overwhelming to you, remember that your mission remains the same regardless of what’s new in the news cycle: love God and make disciples.

“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20 (CSB) (read full passage)
