Incumbents Secure Hawaii Primary Wins, Defying Progressive Challengers The recent primary elections in Hawaii have highlighted a pattern where seasoned politicians are pushing back against challenges from younger, more liberal opponents.
One notable outcome was Ed Case's victory over state Senator Jarrett Keohokalole, who secured 57% of the vote to Keohokalole's 34%.
Case, a 73 year old veteran of Congress who has held the seat since 2019 and previously served between 2002 and 2007, was criticized by progressive Democrats for his decision to support Republican President Donald Trump's SAVE Act.
