Rep. Jim Langevin fends off Democratic primary challenge in RI
Rep. Jim Langevin (D) fended off a primary challenge in Rhode Island on Tuesday in the latest battle between the Democratic establishment and the party’s progressive flank.
Langevin, who was first elected to the House in 2000, defeated Dylan Conley, a lawyer and former Hill staffer, in the western Rhode Island district. Conley had waged a progressive campaign centered around bridging the gap between “American ideals” and the “American reality.”
Langevin will be the heavy favorite to win the general election this November in the safe blue Democratic district, where he was reelected by about 28 points in 2018.
