The Latest: Case wins Democratic House primary in Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) — The Latest on the primary election (all times local):9:15 p.m.
Former Congressman Ed Case has emerged from a crowded field to win the Democratic Party primary to represent Honolulu in Congress.
The 65-year-old fiscal conservative on Saturday defeated five other major candidates including Lt. Gov. Doug Chin, who is the architect of Hawaii's legal battle against President Donald Trump's travel ban.
The winner of the Democratic primary is almost guaranteed to win in the general election in Hawaii.
Another contender was 29-year-old Kaniela Ing, a democratic socialist who hoped to follow in the footsteps of colleague Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York to score an upset victory.
