Elections!
If you weren't following the primaries last night, here are some highlights:
-- In New York, two veteran Democratic members of the US House, Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, faced one another because of redistricting. Nadler won by a lot.
-- In Florida, former Republican Governor Charlie Crist won the Democratic nomination for Governor, where he will face Ron DeSantis, the incumbent.
-- In perhaps the most important race if you are looking for trends, the Democrat, Pat Ryan (how many politicians have had that name?) won a special election for the House in a genuine swing district in (barely) Upstate New York.
