Trump-endorsed candidate wins Republican congressional primary in North Dakota
North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak came away with the win in the state’s Republican primary for its at-large congressional district.
Fedorchak, who emerged as one of the favorites in the race, was up 46% to 29% when AP called the race.
The result all but wraps up what had become a heated contest for North Dakota’s lone congressional seat, though Fedorchak will still have to fend off a Democratic challenger in November. But the climb for Democrats in the state is a steep one, with the party being unable to win a statewide election in North Dakota since 1988.

Fedorchak emerged with the victory over state Rep. Rick Becker and military veteran Alex Balazs. Balazs, who Ballotpedia notes served in the Air Force, Army, and Navy, had earned the endorsement of the state’s Republican Party ahead of the race.
Becker, who was at one time a plastic surgeon, had the backing of former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, and his son, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., while also garnering support from House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good.
Fedorchak, meanwhile, earned powerful endorsements from former President Donald Trump, outgoing Republican Gov. Doug Burgum, and Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D.

TRUMP ENDORSEMENT IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE ANOTHER VICTORY FOR SENATE GOP CAMPAIGN CHAIR
The heated race was made possible by the decision of three-term Rep. Kelly Armstrong to forgo seeking re-election to Congress and instead opting to run for governor in the state. Burgmum, the state’s two-term governor who many observers consider to be one of the top contenders to be Trump’s running mate in November, opted not to seek a third term.
Armstrong, who earned Trump’s endorsement in the face, squared off in the GOP primary against Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller, who earned the Burgum endorsement.

Voters in North Dakota were also tasked with deciding the fate of a high-profile ballot initiative during primary voting, which would ban anyone from running for U.S. House or Senate if they would turn 81-years-old during their term.

FOX 2 sought an additional comment from Carone, who declined to comment.
The other side:

“Muslim people wash five times a day for prayers and it’s part of their religion to be clean and sanitary,” said Khaled Farhat, a Lifetime Fitness member. “I don’t understand what she means by unsanitary.”
Another member was turned off by the Carone’s stance.

The man known as Billy Sushi is hosting four youth hockey players and two coaches 6,000 miles from home.
The popular Minneapolis restaurateur was visiting his home country, Mongolia, when he saw something that reminded him of his current home.
“Driving through this tiny mining town and I saw this old Soviet Union era hockey rink,” he said. “So, I go over and I saw there was a couple people hanging around. I said, ‘You guys play hockey?’ and they said, ‘Yeah, we do play hockey.’ And I’m like, ‘Show me!’”
That was the start.
“Minnesota is so crazy. It’s good,” said 13-year-old Gerelt Dulguun, who they affectionately call “G-Man.”
The outdoor rinks in Baganuur, Mongolia, are only open three months a year, so this trip to the State of Hockey is a hockey culture shock.
“They come out, they’re skating, they are like ‘Oh my god this is so flat, so clean!’” said Billy, on the first time the kids, ranging from ages 15 to 13, stepped on a Minnesota sheet of ice. “They come back and they’re like, ‘I can go fast,’”
The players have been practicing and playing tournaments with the local Pro Hybrid development program.
“Their passion is they’re looking to learn the game and see what it is here in our communities, where hockey is such a big part of the fabric of our communities here, and getting a chance to showcase that has been awesome,” said coach Brendan Cook.
The players have been practicing twice a day. They even took third place at a tournament held at Minnetonka High School.
When the Wild were still in the NHL playoffs. They got to meet Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy at Grand Casino Arena and watch a playoff game.
