Primary Battles and Trump’s Plays | Hattiesburg News

Six states hit the polls today—Alabama, Connecticut, Minnesota, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wisconsin—with high-stakes races unfolding across the board. In Minnesota, Senate hopefuls Angie Craig and Peggy Flanagan clash as moderates battle progressives, while Mike Lindell, backed by Trump, surges in the GOP gubernatorial race. Wisconsin’s governor’s race pits establishment favorite David Crowley against democratic socialist Francesca Hong, whose grassroots appeal could shake up the party’s future. Meanwhile, South Carolina holds a special primary to replace Lindsey Graham, with Trump backing his sister Darline—a staunch ally pushing his voting bill agenda. And in Wisconsin’s 7th district, 26-year-old Michael Alfonso, married to Sean Duffy’s daughter, rides Trump’s endorsement despite GOP skepticism. Even amid internal Democratic tensions, Hong’s supporters are energized, believing she speaks to everyday struggles—and that unity will follow if she wins.
