Rep. Ed Case won his primary race in Hawaii's 1st District, overcoming a challenge from State Senator Jarrett Keohokalole. Keohokalole criticized Case for his stance on military aid to Israel and for a previous version of the SAVE America Act, reflecting a divide within the Democratic Party between centrist and progressive factions.

This election saw incumbents, including Case, successfully defend their positions against progressive challengers, suggesting a continuing tension in the party's dynamics. The results from Hawaii align with broader national trends where centrist Democrats have maintained their footholds in several congressional districts.
