Sen Bernie Sanders easily won Vermont’s Democratic primary. But he plans to reject the nomination and run again as an Independent.

4 states vote in key primary elections

It's primary night: Voters are casting their ballots in four states — Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont and Wisconsin.

What to watch: In Minnesota, Democratic Sen. Tina Smith is running to serve the rest of former Sen. Al Franken's term. (Franken resigned from office over allegations that he touched women inappropriately.) In Vermont, Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders is up for re-election and Christine Hallquist aims to become the first transgender candidate for governor in American history.

Did we a week ago, have a separate thread for the primaries??? Okay, found the thread in politics.

I guess a few states voted today.

I got some sort of special message on my phone about Bernie winning.

@TomSea

I didn’t know if we had a separate place for primaries. If we do, I’m sorry. Maybe a mod can move these two threads I just posted.

Thanks

Tina Smith is formerly with planned parenthood in some capacity, so I think that is very bad. She may well win the D primary in Minnesota, almost an assumption. She shows how the Democrat party is so tied up to special interest groups, say, something like planned parenthood.  A real negative to me.

Acclaimed Connecticut teacher Hayes wins US House primary

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A former National Teacher of the Year defeated a veteran politician on Tuesday in the Democratic primary for a U.S. House seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, who agreed not to seek re-election amid criticism over her mishandling of a sexual harassment case in her Washington office.

Wolcott educator Jahana Hayes, who won the national award in 2016, topped former Simsbury First Selectman Mary Glassman, a two-time lieutenant governor candidate. If she wins the general election in November, Hayes, 45, will be the first black woman to win a Connecticut congressional seat.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on Wisconsin's primary election (all times local):

9:03 p.m.

Wisconsin state schools chief Tony Evers has won the Democratic primary for governor and will face Republican Gov. Scott Walker in November.

Evers emerged from a field of eight candidates in Tuesday's primary.

He was the only candidate to have won election statewide before and now faces his biggest challenge against Walker.

Walker has built up a big financial advantage for his re-election bid. He's already run more than a dozen television ads touting his record of the past eight years.


___


8:55 p.m.

A former aide to House Speaker Paul Ryan has won the Wisconsin Republican primary race to replace him.

Bryan Steil (STY'-uhl) won Tuesday over five other competitors. Steil far outraised his opponents and secured the backing of prominent donors and Republicans, including Ryan.

He will face either Randy Bryce or Cathy Myers in November.

Steil is general counsel for Charter NEX Films Inc., an independent producer of polyethylene film used for food and consumer packaging. He previously worked eight years as a corporate attorney at electric motor manufacturer Regal Beloit Corporation.

He is from Janesville, the same hometown as Ryan, in southeast Wisconsin, not far from the Illinois border. The congressional district leans Republican.

Oh how nice for Vermont.  A candidate that is so confused they can't even figure out what sex they are.

Told you once, I won't tell you again it's a bad way

@Chosen Daughter

I put that red light light on because it’s supposed to be a siren emoji like the siren emoji Drudge uses when there’s a breaking story.

I’m sorry if you thought it meant something else. It’s actually a police siren. Oh_- good pun!

Oh, how funny!  I really didn't even notice the siren.  The song just came into my mind when I saw her/it.  Thinking it is going to get a new job so she doesn't have to turn on the red light.  LOL!
