In the Hawaii primary elections held on Saturday, incumbent US Representative Ed Case, a seventy-three-year-old centrist Democrat who has served in the House since 2019 and previously between 2002 and 2007, secured a victory over his progressive Democratic challenger Jarrett Keohokalole. With 57 percent of the vote to Keohokalole's 34 percent, Case is now set to face Republican nominee Adriel Lam in the general election come November. This latest win for Case marks another front in the ongoing struggle between veteran US Democratic politicians and younger, more progressive contenders. Critics have accused Case of betraying liberal values by voting to support President Donald Trump's Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which they argue undermines US voting rights. Keohokalole argued that Case is increasingly disconnected from constituents due to corporate campaign contributions. In addition to Case, three other candidates were also in the running for the safely Democratic Honolulu seat. Notably, US Representative Jill Tokuda easily won her Democratic primary with 84 percent of the vote, while Hawaii Governor Josh Green, who has been in office since 2022, also defeated multiple challengers for the Democratic nomination. The victories in Hawaii come amidst a recent surge for left-wing candidates in states such as Colorado, Kentucky, and New York.
