Representative Ed Case has secured the Democratic nomination for Hawaii’s first congressional district, defeating state Senator Jarrett Keohokalole in a primary election held Saturday. Case, who has represented the island state since 2019 and is considered a centrist Democrat, ran against Keohokalole, a progressive candidate. With over 90% of results tallied Sunday morning, Case won the nomination.
The race saw a moderate Democrat successfully defend his seat against a challenge from the left wing of the party. Outlets on the right noted this as part of a broader trend of Democrats facing challenges from more far-left candidates seeking to reshape national policy. No sources reported any specific details about Keohokalole’s platform beyond its general progressive orientation.
The 73-year-old incumbent's victory comes after serving in Congress since 2019, and maintains the Democratic hold on Hawaii’s first district. While left and right outlets both covered the outcome, there is no dispute over the results themselves.
