*** Election Night Livewire *** Francesca Hong and the DSA March Towards Democratic Party Takeover

How Left is too Left? Voters might begin giving answers Tuesday night as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) continues running wild in Democratic Party primaries across the nation. Voters go to the polls in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Carolina, Connecticut, Alabama and Vermont. But the marquee races are in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina. Trump has endorsed newly minted Sen. Darline Graham Nodone, Lindsey Graham's sister, who was appointed by Trump's ally Gov. Henry McMaster after lobbying from Trump despite her scant political record. Polls show Nodone and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) likely leaders with Rep. Russell Fry and even scandal-plagued former governor and representative Mark Sanford potential runoff candidates. If no candidate receives over 50 percent, a runoff will take place August 25. The Minnesota Democrat primary for Senate showcases a battle between traditional Democrats and the ascendant Left that increasingly calls the shots. The race also demonstrates how far, and how fast, the Democratic Party has rushed to the Left. Rep. Angie Craig has consistently polled behind the frontrunner, progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. UPDATE 8:18 p.m. ET: The AP projects Sen. Nodone will advance to the runoff, as expected. Reps. Fry and Norman are neck-and-neck at 23 percent each, with Fry a few hundred votes ahead. UPDATE 8:07 p.m. ET: Sen. Nodone has the clear lead in the South Carolina Republican Senatorial primary. with 30 percent of the projected vote in, she is sitting pretty at 32 percent and is almost a lock for the runoff. Rep. Fry is in second with 26 percent, with Rep. Norman behind at 21.
