What this episode covers

Wyoming, Florida, and Alaska delivered fascinating primary results while highlighting the corrosive effect of outside special interest money in our democratic elections. A US House runoff in California is too close to call, despite a flood of AIPAC campaign cash. Donald Trump’s influence appears to be weakening as his candidates lost in Wyoming and elsewhere. Despite being outspent 16–1, progressive Angie Nixon scored a surprise win over Alexander Vindman in Florida's Democratic US Senate primary. In Alaska, Native American former Rep. Mary Peltola (D) led the top-four US Senate primary and voters approved new limits on campaign finance -- but Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies are funding an effort to tear down Alaska's reforms on voting and campaign finance.
