What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections

In Oregon’s 6th District, cryptocurrency-backed candidate Carrick Flynn has conceded the Democratic primary to state Rep. Andrea Salinas, who leads 38-19 percent in the vote count so far (about 41 percent of all votes have been counted). Flynn had the support of several insanely well-funded Super PACs, but it wasn’t enough to get him anywhere close to the win. The district leans fairly Democratic, so Salinas will be favored in the fall.

Thank you to my supporters. Obviously, these are not the results we were hoping to see tonight. I congratulate State Representative Andrea Salinas on her victory and offer my full support. I will be out there knocking on doors and calling voters as a volunteer for her campaign.

McGeachin’s loss isn’t surprising — polls have consistently shown her trailing Little. Considering how pro-Trump Little is, it’s curious why Trump didn’t pull his endorsement, like he did for Mo Brooks in Alabama’s Senate primary. But with over two dozen endorsements for tonight, is it possible Trump just forgot?
