Rep. Ed Case defeated a primary challenger in Hawaii\u0027s 1st District, the Associated Press projected, defying a recent trend of progressive challengers ousting moderate incumbents.With 91% of the vote counted, Case had a nearly 14-point lead over his nearest challenger, state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole.\u00a0Keohokalole had criticized Case for his vote to send military aid to Israel and for Case\u0027s support for an earlier version of President Trump\u0027s SAVE America Act, although Case, one of just three Democrats in the House to vote for that bill, told Hawaii News Now that he did not support the latest version of the bill.\u00a0Case has represented Hawaii\u0027s 1st Congressional District, which includes Honolulu and other parts of O\u02bbahu, since 2019, having previously represented the 2nd District, which includes more rural parts of O\u02bbahu and the other islands, from 2002 to 2007.\u00a0Case will face Republican Adriel Lam, who was unopposed on Saturday, in November. Given Hawaii\u0027s strong Democratic leaning, Case is favored to win in November.\u00a0Democratic incumbents in safe districts in\u00a0New York and Colorado\u00a0have been ousted so far this year by primary challengers.\u00a0Hawaii\u0027s Gov. Josh Green, who had faced three nominal challengers on Saturday, secured the Democratic nomination. He will face Republican Gary Cordery, who won Saturday\u0027s primary, in November.\u00a0
