McCain & Wasserman Schultz Faces Primary Races Today
----------------------------------------------------

In local election news, Arizona Senator John Mc Cain and Florida
Congressmember Debbie Wasserman Schultz have their primaries today. Mc
Cain is up against Dr. Kelli Ward, a little-known Arizona state senator.
Wasserman Schultz is the former chair of the Democratic National
Committee. She stepped down after Wiki Leaks 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.
