Democratic Divide in Hawaii's Primary | Wilmington News

In a major blow to the progressive wing, Hawaii Democrat Rep. Ed Case narrowly held off progressive challenger Jarrett Keohokalole in a heated primary — a rare win for the party’s establishment amid rising tensions over immigration, voting rights, and ideological direction. Keohokalole accused Case of being too soft on Trump-era policies and criticized his early vote for the SAVE Act, which dealt with voter ID requirements. Case defended his vote as principled, not partisan, and later opposed a more restrictive version of the bill. With a safe Democratic district ahead, Case now faces Republican Adriel Lam in November — but this race underscores a deeper national struggle: can the Democratic Party unify around a shared vision, or will its factions continue to fracture?
