The Progressive Wave Crashes on the Shores of Politics Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota's progressive lieutenant governor, has emerged victorious in the Democratic primary for US Senate, defeating moderate US Representative Angie Craig with nearly 59% of the vote.
Flanagan's campaign centered on anti ICE policies, which resonated strongly with voters wary of the Trump administration's immigration agenda.
The Laken Riley Act, a key point of contention between Flanagan and Craig, requires immigration detention for undocumented immigrants accused of local crimes.
