What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections
We’re just up to 50 percent of the expected vote in the Republican primary for Illinois’s 6th District, and Pekau continues to lead Grasso by a sizable amount. Pekau has 44 percent of the vote and Grasso has 24 percent. The other six candidates are much further behind. Whoever wins will go up against Casten in the fall.
Now that ABC News reports that incumbent Lauren Boebert (CO-03) is projected to win her re-election primary, we now know the fates of four of Trump’s six endorsees on ballots tonight. Barring any surprises in Colorado, Boebert will likely face off against Adam Frisch, a local businessman and local politician, this fall. Still to come are results for incumbents Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15), who is leading, and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, where polls only just now closed.
Here’s where all of Trump’s choices stand at present:
