The Democratic establishment is alive and well, thriving after big wins in the fall that have continued through this early political season. In Tuesday’s primaries, Democratic candidates favored by party leaders advanced to the general election in every key House, Senate and gubernatorial race on the ballot. Two House Republicans from Indiana finished a distant second and third in their bid for the Senate nomination to challenge Donnelly. Republican Senate candidate Mike Braun thanks supporters Tuesday night. Van Hollen allowed for the California Senate race, where the incumbent, Dianne Feinstein (D), is facing a challenge from the state Senate Democratic leader, Kevin de Leon.
