Delaware: First Dem Primary Poll Suggests Close Race: With Gov. John Carney (D) being ineligible to run for a third term, Lt. Governor and gubernatorial candidate Bethany Hall-Long (D) released the results of her internal Public Policy Polling Democratic primary survey (1/10-11; 643 DE likely voters; live interview & text). The study finds the Lt. Governor posting an early 30-23% lead over New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer. National Wildlife Federation CEO Collin O’Mara, also an announced candidate, was not included on the Democratic primary ballot test.
The Delaware primary is one of the latest in the cycle, scheduled for September 10th, so much time remains for this race to develop. The eventual Democratic nominee will be in commanding position to win the open race in November. North Dakota: Gov. Doug Burgum to Retire: Former presidential candidate Doug Burgum (R) announced yesterday that he will not seek a third term as North Dakota’s Governor despite high approval ratings. With his endorsement of former President Trump, and the ex-chief executive indicating that Gov. Burgum would be primed for a position in a new Trump Administration should the 2024 election go the Republicans’ way, Mr. Burgum’s time in politics may not be coming to an end. The decision to leave the Governorship when his current term ends will open a highly competitive race for the Republican nomination through the state party convention and potentially a June 11th open primary. The eventual Republican nominee becomes a prohibitive favorite to succeed Gov. Burgum. Comments are closed.
