You’re reading The Weekly, a Saturday morning recap of the best Dispatch content of the week, with some additional commentary from Managing Editor Rachael Larimore.
Hello and happy Saturday. It’s official: Primary season is (almost) over. Florida, Alaska, and Wyoming had their elections on Tuesday, leaving only a few states that wait until September.

Nixon’s victory highlights the party’s internal divisions between its establishment and progressive wings. Democratic socialists also won primaries in New York, Michigan, Colorado, and Pennsylvania.
But it's time for us to turn our attention to the general election. As we do, we’ll be watching to see how Democrats are grappling with that division, but also how they are campaigning against Republicans.
