McCain & Wasserman Schultz Faces Primary Races Today

HeadlineAug 30, 2016

In local election news, Arizona Senator John McCain and Florida Congressmember Debbie Wasserman Schultz have their primaries today. McCain is up against Dr. Kelli Ward, a little-known former Arizona state senator. Wasserman Schultz is the former chair of the Democratic National Committee. She stepped down after WikiLeaks released nearly 20,000 emails revealing how the Democratic Party favored Hillary Clinton and worked behind the scenes to discredit and defeat Bernie Sanders. Sanders has backed Wasserman Schultz’s opponent, Tim Canova, in the primary race, although some say Sanders has not done enough to support Canova.
