> Primary elections were held Tuesday in six US states, with both parties sending several contests to runoffs. In Minnesota, the progressive lieutenant governor defeated Representative Angie Craig in the Democratic Senate primary. Wisconsin’s Republican gubernatorial contest remained too close to call. In Minnesota’s Republican governor’s race, Donald Trump-endorsed businessman Mike Lindell lost to House Speaker Lisa Demuth. In South Carolina, Darlene Graham advanced.
