Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Hours after a successful heart procedure, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman easily won his state’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, defeating Rep. Conor Lamb by more than 30 points.
* As for Fetterman’s Republican opponent in the fall, it might be a while before we know for sure: Celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz currently enjoys a tiny advantage over former hedge fund executive Dave McCormick, but that may change, and a recount is a distinct possibility.
* Speaking of the Keystone State, it was widely assumed that Teddy Daniels, the scandal-plagued Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, would win his primary. He didn’t: Carrie DelRosso came out on top, while Daniels finished third.
* In Idaho, Gov. Brad Little had no trouble fending off a right-wing primary challenge from Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin. With just about all of the votes counted, the Republican incumbent won by about 30 points.
