What Went Down In Elections In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Vermont And Connecticut
ABC News is projecting that Brad Finstad has won the Republican primary election (not the special election!) for Minnesota’s 1st District. He’s currently leading tea partier Jeremy Munson 77 percent to 23 percent, a much wider margin than when the two faced off earlier this year in the special election’s primary.
Wisconsin’s 3rd District Democratic primary still looks like Pfaff’s to lose, as he has 48 percent with 24 percent of the expected vote reporting. Cooke is in second with 24 percent, so it’s going to take a big shift in that remaining vote to make this race interesting.
We have a few updates on the Trump endorsees front, including projected victories for members reported to be involved in Jan 6: Incumbent Ron Johnson is projected to win the primary in his reelection bid for Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate seat (no surprises here), as is Derrick Van Orden in the state’s 3rd District. Here’s the full slate:
