Progressives stumble in Wisconsin as Trump-backed Lindell loses Minnesota primary

We begin this morning with results from Tuesday's primaries, including a comeback win in Wisconsin

and a runoff for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat in South Carolina. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has won the Democratic nomination for governor

of Wisconsin, defeating Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong. It's a striking turnaround for Crowley, who dropped out of the race last month, then jumped

back in after another leading Democrat dropped out. Governor Tony Evers then endorsed Crowley in the closing days of the race, helping Democrats coalesce around his candidacy

Hong had led in polling and her loss cut short another test of how far the party's progressive win can extend its recent primary wins into a presidential battleground

Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany also won his party's nomination for governor, setting up a Crowley-Tiffany matchup in November

In South Carolina, Lindsey Graham's sister, Senator Darlene Graham, and Congressman Ralph Norman are headed to a runoff later this month

in the special Republican primary for Graham's former Senate seat. Both talked overnight about the sudden short campaign and the two weeks still ahead

I have buried my precious brother. I have taken on the role of a United States senator And I have had this brutal campaign schedule And I still standing If that doesn tell you I a strong person and a fighter nothing will So I think I can

handle the next two weeks. How unexpected this was to have Lindsey Graham not

here. He just, he's a fixture you thought he would be here. And that being said, it

It was, when you looked at the landscape, it was a short time frame to put together a campaign

And one more upset in Minnesota. Republican voters chose state House Speaker Lisa Demuth over Trump ally Mike Lindell for their party's nomination for governor

Demuth will face Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar in November. Sometimes the most interesting part of a story never makes it into the headlines
