“U.S. Representative Ed ‌Case easily fended off a Democratic primary challenge from a progressive rival for one of Hawaii’s congressional seats, election results showed late Saturday. Case’s ​victory over Jarrett Keohokalole, 43, marks the latest ​front of the battle roiling U.S. Democratic politics in ⁠which seasoned lawmakers have been pitted against more progressive newcomers. Case, ​73, won 57% of the votes in his district, compared ​with Keohokalole’s 34%, official results showed. Neither could be reached immediately for comment on Sunday. Three others had also sought the Democratic nomination for ​the Honolulu-based district that is seen as safely Democratic.” (08/09/26)
