What to know about the US primary election in Minnesota
Immigration is at the center of another closely watched Democratic Senate race. Minnesota Democrats will decide a competitive US Senate primary in another face-off between moderate and progressive candidates that could define the party’s identity heading into the midterm elections. Immigration has emerged as a defining issue in the Democratic primary election on Tuesday in the Midwestern state of Minnesota for the United States Senate, as establishment-backed Representative Angie Craig and more leftist Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan offer competing visions for how Democrats should respond to US President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Craig, who has a record of winning competitive races, has faced criticism after voting for a law that was part of Trump’s crackdown. She has since said she regrets the vote.
