What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections

The AP has projected that businessman Joe O’Dea will defeat state Rep. Ron Hanks in the GOP primary for Senate in Colorado. This result will help Republicans keep the Centennial State potentially in play come November if the environment is friendly enough for them. Democrats spent millions trying to help Hanks in the knowledge that the state legislator might be too toxic to win even in an advantageous year for Republicans.

The Associated Press has just called the Democratic primary for New York lieutenant governor for Antonio Delgado, and it’s easy to see why: He currently leads Ana María Archila 60 percent to 26 percent. As a result, Hochul will get her preferred running mate, and Hochul and Delgado will very likely be Albany’s 1-2 for the next four years.

ABC News reports that Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is projected to win the GOP primary in Colorado’s 3rd District, defeating state Sen. Don Coram. With about three-fourths of the expected vote reporting, she leads 64 percent to 36 percent.
