Wisconsin's Democratic showdown and more primary races to watch today
South Carolina Republicans will be choosing a successor for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat, and Minnesota's Senate primary is another battle between moderate and progressive Democrats.
In Wisconsin, democratic socialist Francesca Hong and moderate David Crowley are competing for the Democratic nomination in the governor's race. Two other candidates have withdrawn from the contest. President Trump's ally, Rep. Tom Tiffany, is expected to secure the Republican nomination for the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Minnesota's Democratic Senator Tina Smith will not be seeking re-election, leading Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig to vie for the Democratic Senate nomination. Minnesota's Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar is running for governor, facing no significant primary opposition in the race to replace outgoing Republican Governor Tim Walz.
In Minnesota, Michele Tafoya, a former sportscaster, is considered the favorite to win the Republican nomination for Senate. The contest for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Minnesota includes MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, House Speaker Lisa Demuth, and businessman Kendall Qualls. In South Carolina, Sen. Darline Graham, appointed to finish the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's term, is competing against nine other Republicans for the party's nomination in a special primary.
