It was one of the many races in which the Colorado Republicans chose more moderate candidates over those who embraced Trump’s electoral lies and held conservative positions on social issues. In the run-up to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennett, businessman Joe O’Dea, who advocates abortion rights in addition to delayed abortions, defeated state lawmaker Ron Hanks, who opposes abortion in all cases.

And in the gubernatorial primary to face Democratic Gov.

But Illinois embraced Trump’s candidates
It was a very different story in Illinois, another state leaning toward Democrats, where Republicans are hoping economic and historical factors leaning in their favor this year will lead to surprises in November. Darren Bailey, a conservative state senator who was endorsed by Trump and backed by billionaire Republican donor Dick Eichline, won the primary. “Darren is just the man who can take over and defeat one of the worst governors in America,” the former president told a rally at the weekend. Bailey, in a debate, described Chicago as a “criminal, corrupt, dysfunctional hell,” although he seeks to become governor of the state of which Chicago is the financial center. In the state legislature in 2019, he backed a resolution that would separate Chicago from the rest of Illinois. as a candidate for governor, he resigned from this position. Meanwhile, in the 15th Congressional District, where incumbents Mary Miller and Rodney Davis were dragged to the same constituency last year, Miller prevailed. Miller, a controversial first-term lawmaker, voted against the results of the 2020 Electoral College in Pennsylvania and Arizona and received Trump approval despite reactions from the GOP leadership in Parliament. Miller, in a speech to the former president at the weekend, described Roe’s overthrow of Wade by the Supreme Court as a “victory for White’s life.” (A spokesman claimed he had spoken incorrectly and wanted to say “right to life.”)

Newman was in her first term, but is facing an investigation by the House Ethics Committee into allegations that she may have promised federal employment to a major challenger in exchange for their political support. Newman denied the allegations, saying the allegations were politically motivated.

Mississippi Republican House of Representatives involved in ethics research loses first round
Republican MP Steven Palazzo lost his seat in a Mississippi primary on Tuesday, falling to Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezel. Palazzo, like Newman, embarked on the campaign facing a number of ethical issues. These include alleged misappropriation of campaign and congressional funds and criticism of the use of proxy voting. However, he finished at the top of a field with seven candidates earlier this month, but with only about 31% of the vote. Opposition rallied in the second round, most likely sending Ezell to Congress from the heavyweight bay in the Republican Gulf. Palazzo, an Army veteran, was first elected during the 2010 Tea Party Wave. personnel for personal affairs and tried to exercise his official authority to help his brother re-enlist in the Navy. The report was examined by the Ethics Committee of the Parliament. He has denied any wrongdoing. The lawmaker has also been criticized for using proxy voting despite having previously denounced the practice, leading critics to call it a “No-Show Palazzo”. Palazzo did not help his position in the periphery when he canceled an appearance at a candidate forum in May, citing “meetings on national security”. Later that night, he posted photos of himself and his son eating at a local restaurant during the event.
Illinois spokesman Danny Davis overcomes toughest challenge
Two years ago, longtime Illinois Democrat Danny Davis easily defeated a progressive challenger, community organizer China Collins. The 31-year-old Collins tried to oust the 80-year-old establishment this year as well – but Davis triumphed once again, even though the fight was much closer than it was in 2020. This time, Collins was backed by progressive infrastructure, including Democrats of Justice. But the Chicago 7th District race also highlighted the frustration of some voters with the aging Democratic leadership, in a party where the top three members of Congress are all 80 years old and President Joe Biden is 79 years old. Edward Solan, a 75-year-old retiree at Oak Park, said he voted for Collins because Davis “is too close and it’s time for a change.” “Danny Davis is older than me. I knew it was time to retire and I think it’s time for him to do so,” Solan said. “Not that I have much disagreement with his record, but it’s time to move on.” CNN’s Gregory Krieg contributed to this story.
