    WASHINGTON -

    Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive Squad, eked out a closer-than-expected Democratic primary victory Tuesday against a centrist challenger who questioned the incumbent's support for the 鈥渄efund the police" movement.

    The evening went far smoother for another progressive, Becca Balint, who won the Democratic House primary in Vermont 鈥 positioning her to become the first woman representing the state in Congress.

    A key race was unfolding in western Wisconsin, where Democratic Rep. Ron Kind鈥檚 retirement after 26 years in office opens up a seat in a district that has been trending Republican. The GOP nominee vying to replace Kind is a former Navy SEAL who attended the 鈥淪top the Steal鈥 rally in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, which preceded the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

    Some of the top elections:

    OMAR SURVIVES TOUGH CHALLENGE

    Omar, who represents Minneapolis and is one of the left's leading voices in Congress, has defended calls to redirect public safety funding more into community-based programs. She squared off with former City Councilmember Don Samuels, whose north Minneapolis base suffers from more violent crime than other parts of the city.

    Samuels argued that Omar is divisive and helped defeat a ballot question last year that sought to replace the city police department with a new public safety unit. He and others also successfully sued the city to force it to meet minimum police staffing levels called for in Minneapolis' charter.

    Samuels said his narrow loss shows that Omar is beatable: 鈥淚f this was the general election, no doubt that we would have won this race." Omar countered, 鈥淭onight鈥檚 victory is a testament to how much our district believes in the collective values we are fighting for.鈥

    Barb Atkinson, a 53-year-old part-time event planner for a radio station who supported Samuels, called Omar "too far to the left.鈥

    鈥淎lthough I respect Ilhan Omar and what she鈥檚 done, I disagree with the defund the police. I really think that wording sends the wrong message,鈥 Atkinson said. She added, "We need our leaders to work together to solve this issue.鈥

    Omar, who is seeking her third term in the House, had crushed a similar primary challenge two years ago from a well-funded but lesser-known opponent.

    鈥淪he鈥檚 had a lot of adversity already and pushback. I don鈥檛 think her work is done,鈥 said Kathy Ward, a 62-year-old property caretaker for an apartment building in Minneapolis who voted for Omar. 鈥淲e鈥檝e got to give her a chance.鈥

    Two other members of the Squad 鈥 Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri 鈥 won their Democratic primaries last week.

    TWO ELECTIONS, ONE SEAT IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA

    Voters in southern Minnesota, meanwhile, were deciding two races related to the same seat vacated by Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn, who died earlier this year from cancer.

    A special election for the remainder of Hagedorn's term pitted Republican Brad Finstad, who served in the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the Trump administration, against Democrat Jeff Ettinger, a former chief executive at Hormel Foods. Both won a May 24 special primary election for Hagedorn's seat to serve until January 鈥 though the race was too early to call Wednesday morning.

    Regardless, Finstad and Ettinger will face off again in November for a full term in the district 鈥 it includes Rochester and Mankato 鈥 after each secured their party's nomination Tuesday. Ettinger faced minimal primary opposition while Finstad had little trouble dispatching state Rep. Jeremy Munson. Munson said he doesn't think President Joe Biden's victory was legitimate 鈥 despite federal and state election officials, courts and Trump鈥檚 own attorney general saying there was no credible evidence the 2020 presidential election was tainted.

    REPLACING RON KIND

    Republicans see a pickup opportunity in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District, the seat being vacated by Democratic incumbent Kind.

    The district covers a swath of counties along Wisconsin's western border with Minnesota and includes La Crosse and Eau Claire. Republican Derrick Van Orden was unopposed in his primary Tuesday and has Trump's endorsement.

    Van Orden narrowly lost to Kind in the 2020 general election. He attended Trump's 鈥淪top the Steal鈥 rally near the White House but has said he never stepped foot on the grounds of the Capitol during the insurrection.

    State Sen. Brad Pfaff topped three other Democrats to secure the party's nomination and will face Van Orden in the fall. Pfaff, a onetime state agriculture secretary, had previously worked for Kind and received his endorsement.

    RARE VERMONT OPEN SENATE SEAT

    Vermont is the last state in the country yet to add a female member to its congressional delegation. Balint, who immediately becomes the favourite in November's general election, would also be the first openly gay member of Congress from Vermont.

    She was endorsed by some of the nation鈥檚 leading leaders on the left, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

    鈥淰ermont has chosen a bold, progressive vision for the future, and I will be proud to represent us in Congress,鈥 Balint said in a statement.

    Balint is vying to fill the state鈥檚 lone House seat, which is being vacated by Rep. Peter Welch who is running for Senate and easily secured the Democratic nomination on Tuesday. Welch is trying to succeed Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Senate鈥檚 longest-serving member, who is retiring, creating Vermont鈥檚 first open Senate seat since 2006, when Sanders succeeded Jim Jeffords.

    Balint defeated Lt. Gov. Molly Gray, an ex-staffer for Welch and has been backed by Leahy and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. In November, she'll face Liam Madden, a Marine Corps veteran from Bellows Falls who secured the Republican nomination.
