Dem establishment strikes back as longtime incumbent fends off progressive challenger

Longtime Rep. Ed Case won his primary bid against progressive state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole, securing a term in the House of Representatives amid a wider showdown between the Democratic establishment and its far-left flank. The primary featured disagreements over voting records concerning the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act and federal immigration operations during the Trump administration. Case later joined other Democrats in opposing an updated version, while he now faces Adriel Lam.
