We break down the primary results and what they mean for November. Three U.S. House races were closely watched.

We hear from Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Michelle Fischbach who both fended off primary challenges.

The match up is set in Minnesota’s most competitive U.S. House district. We talk to Republican Joe Teirab who will be facing Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig.

Plus, we hear from party leaders at the state capitol about their priorities and break down one key race in the state senate that could decide party control.

The politics don’t stop with primary night. In fact, the Democratic National Convention is in just a few days. We share a preview of what to expect from Gov. Tim Walz.
