Primary-Palooza

The six-state primary stage was set in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Carolina, Alabama, Vermont, and Connecticut yesterday.

All blue eyes were on swing-state Wisconsin’s gubernatorial Democratic bid between democratic socialist Rep. Hong and Milwaukee County Executive Crowley, mirroring Michigan’s recent progressive-vs-moderate clash. Hong’s grassroots campaign rose to fame despite scrutiny over past social media posts, but some Dems worry she won’t survive the general election against Trump-backed GOP Rep. Tiffany.

In Minnesota, President Trump’s winning endorsement streak was tested by backing former MyPillow CEO Lindell, who has faced multiple lawsuits, in the Republican primary. The winner will take on Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN) to replace Governor Walz (D) in a state embattled with immigration controversy and welfare fraud.

Meanwhile, Senator Darline Graham faced nine Republican challengers to replace her late brother Senator Lindsey Graham on South Carolina’s November ballot.

Verse to consider whether you’re watching the polls, watching your tongue, or watching for a pot to boil, “The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”
