What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections
I’ve been watching how women are doing in tonight’s primaries. Among Democrats it’s a mixed bag for non-incumbent women. But non-incumbent candidates endorsed by EMILY’s List are doing really well. Cheri Beasley won her primary in North Carolina’s Senate race, and Valerie Foushee won in North Carolina’s 4th District. And we are watching the nail-biter in Pennsylvania’s 12th, where Summer Lee is up by a handful of votes with 98 percent of precincts reporting. EMILY’s List also endorsed two women in Oregon (Val Hoyle and Tina Kotek), where we don’t have any results yet.

With 76 percent of expected votes reporting, the GOP race in North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District is still too close to call. Sandy Smith, who, as I mentioned earlier, attended the Jan. 6 rally, is leading with 30.7 percent of the vote, with Sandy Roberson trailing at 26.1 percent. Here’s how the other Big Lie believing candidates are faring so far:
