Dem establishment strikes back as longtime incumbent fends off progressive challenger

Longtime Rep. Ed Case won his primary bid, defeating progressive state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole, signaling a key victory for the Democratic establishment. The contest was framed within a wider conflict between the two wings of the party and featured debates over voting procedures, including the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Following the primary, Case is set to face Republican Adriel Lam in November.
