Primary Returns Show Wide GOP Wins Over Prewar Isolationists
Across five states, incumbents backed by party leaders won primaries while opponents attacking prewar isolationism faded. In New York Hamilton Fish secured the Republican banner in his home district as Willkie urged reconciliation. Nebraska saw Democrat Foster May triumph over Harry Coffee, while Wherry claimed the Senate nomination in Nebraska with Norris absent from the race. Ohio yielded renomination for Feighan Elston and Vorys as Sweeney lost in Cleveland’s key district. Idaho and Arkansas also advanced Republican and Democrat contenders respectively, signaling a broad shift against prewar foreign policy critique.
