On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott breaks down a busy night of primary elections and what the results could mean for the 2026 midterms. Dustin Grage analyzed Minnesota’s races after Republicans nominated Michele Tafoya for Senate and Lisa Demuth for governor, while Republican strategist Mark Graul examined David Crowley’s narrow victory over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary and the broader political landscape in the state. Scott also covered South Carolina’s Republican Senate runoff, major polling misses in recent Democratic primaries, the record-setting sale of the Los Angeles Lakers, and controversy surrounding the Indiana Fever and Sophie Cunningham. Later, political strategist Henry Olsen explored whether Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should seize the moment and run for president in 2028, and newly minted Republican Senate nominee Michele Tafoya joined Scott to discuss her Minnesota primary victory and upcoming general-election battle against Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.
