A host of Democrats, many new to the national political scene, won their primaries on Tuesday, from a navy veteran in New Jersey to a Paralympian in Iowa to an auto shop owner in California.
The candidates ran in all types of races – toss-up districts, safe seats expected to stay in Democratic hands, and red states that seem more in play for the left than ever in a midterm elections year broadly expected to favour the Democrats.
Among the notable winners are an army doctor, a Paralympian, and a navy veteran, all of whom bring fresh perspectives to the party's slate ahead of the general election.
