Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, emerged victorious in her primary race on Saturday, positioning Democrats for a probable win in the upcoming November elections. Hirono faced off against Clyde Lewman, a wood products salesman, and Ron Curtis, a retired engineer.
In the 2018 Senate race, Curtis, the Republican nominee, was defeated by Hirono by a significant margin of 29% to 71%. Similarly, in 2020, Curtis challenged Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii, for a House seat but faced a similar outcome.
