Trump endorsement fades as Wyoming GOP nominates Barlow over Degenfelder

State Sen. Eric Barlow defeated Trump-backed Megan Degenfelder in Wyoming’s gubernatorial primary, marking another setback for former President Donald Trump’s endorsements in GOP races. Barlow ran on protecting public lands, funding public schools, and expanding rural health care, while Degenfelder leaned heavily on Trump’s backing and faced attack ads portraying Barlow as too liberal. The outcome follows a string of recent Trump-backed defeats in governor and other races.

Hawaii to settle two razor-thin primaries by drawing after historic ties

Two tight Hawaii Republican primaries ended in exact 1,212–1,212 (Senate District 20: Bob McDermott vs. Kurt Fevella) and 842–842 (House District 43: Kanani Souza vs. Sheila Medeiros) after ballots cured for signature issues, triggering an unprecedented drawing at the state Capitol to decide the winners. The McDermott–Fevella winner will face Democrat Markus Owens in the general election, while Souza–Medeiros gives the House seat to the winner since there’s no Democratic primary. A 13-hour recount initially showed no change.
