What did the Wisconsin Democratic primary results reveal about the party’s progressive wing?
Our hometown is not a test tube,
90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America plays out in one small town. Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land. We need cities on a shining hill. This is Our Town, a podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to Our Town on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. We begin in Wisconsin, where a primary upset has put a check on momentum of the socialist wing of the Democratic Party. Moderate Democrat David Crowley is projected to defeat progressive rival Francesca Hong in the Democratic primary for governor. With 98% of votes counted, Crowley is projected to defeat Hong 39.8 to 39.4%. Hong thanked her supporters earlier this morning. I
feel confident, but more importantly, I am so deeply, deeply grateful to my core.
How did Mike Lindell’s Minnesota GOP primary loss impact the 2024 Republican race?
for how hard you have all fought.
The narrow margin of Hong's loss in Wisconsin highlights the strength of the Democrats' progressive flank, but Crowley's win may offer a path for establishment Democrats to reassert power in primary elections over the next month. In other notable primaries overnight, Senator Darlene Graham will advance to a runoff election to replace her late brother as the Republican nominee for Senate in South Carolina. With 33% of the vote, Graham will face Representative Ralph Norman, who had 25% in the August 25th runoff. In Minnesota, Decision Desk HQ says MyPillow founder Mike Lindell is projected to lose Minnesota's Republican primary for governor to State House Speaker Lisa DeMuth. A prominent 2020 election denier, Lindell, questioned the vote following the results.
I'm not going to sit by until these numbers are explained. Someone's going to have to explain to me why we were polling 7-9 and these numbers came in.
With 99% of votes counted, Lisa DeMuth had 43% compared to 33% for Mike Lindell. Oil wavering as traders continue to weigh the prospect for a deal to restore energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. This morning, the International Energy Agency is also saying global inventories will tumble this quarter at more than twice the rate previously estimated. Meanwhile, all this follows comments from President Trump, who says the U.S. claims total control over the Strait of Hormuz and that he has no trust for Iran.
I don't trust Iran.
What are President Trump’s claims about U.S. control of the Strait of Hormuz and the surrounding geopolitical tension?
Why? Are you saying I trust Iran? I'm the last person to trust Iran. They've lied to me constantly. We have total control over the Hormuz Strait right now. They don't have control. We have total control. We own it. and at some point maybe they'll do something and then they get blown away.
Despite President Trump's comments, Pakistan's defense minister tells reporters in Islamabad that the two sides were close to some sort of arrangement over Hormuz without offering details. Meanwhile, Iran is reorganizing its military to be more agile and aggressive abroad in light of its war with the U.S. and Israel, a sign that it's positioning for a protracted confrontation even if the current conflict ends. Another note from Washington, President Trump is saying security officials ordered him to secretly switch planes after a NATO summit in Turkey because of a threat to his safety. The elaborate maneuver, first reported by the Washington Post, was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat against Trump.
Why did North Korea conduct a second ballistic‑missile test and what does it signal for U.S.–South Korea relations?
The deception was carried out as journalists, White House staff members and other government officials on board Air Force One were given the impression the president was flying with them back to the U.S. from a NATO summit in Ankara. North Korea today performed its second ballistic missile test in less than a week. This is according to South Korean officials. It's a likely protest of the upcoming South Korea-U.S. military drills that North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal. The search for life in the rubble of Colombia's powerful earthquake is growing more desperate.
