Episode Details

Hawaii’s primary election this Saturday is packed with drama: nine candidates vie to replace Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke, who’s facing bribery charges and is on unpaid leave — a role often a springboard to statewide power. Meanwhile, Rep. Ed Case faces a fiery primary challenge from Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole, who accuses him of backing a Trump-backed election bill — Case defends his vote, citing voter protections. On the Democratic side, Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami leads fundraising thanks to a major union PAC boost; Republicans have a two-way governor race and a locked-in congressional nominee. Ballots are mailed to all voters, with results rolling in fast — but automatic recounts kick in if the margin is under 100 votes or 0.25% — so don’t count it out yet.
