A member of the House’s ultra-liberal “squad” and a senator who’s older than President Joe Biden go before Democratic primary voters on Tuesday, but Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders face none of the headwinds that ousted Missouri Rep. Cori Bush earlier this week and forced Biden to drop his reelection bid last month.
The biggest battles on tap Tuesday may be in Wisconsin, where there’s an expensive Republican battle to replace a House member who resigned in April, and a Democratic fight to take on freshman Rep. Derrick Van Orden. Badger State voters will also set the nominees in one of the year’s top Senate races, but the likely winners have been running against each other for months.
Connecticut also has primaries Tuesday, but none of the members of the all-Democratic delegation face challenges from within the party.
