The Democratic establishment struck back Tuesday with major victories in the Maryland and Pennsylvania Senate primaries, showing the strength of the party leadership over the liberal base.
Nowhere was that clearer than in Pennsylvania, with a furious effort stretching from the White House to local party leaders who sought to prop up Democrat Katie McGinty, who was struggling in the polls just a few weeks ago.
But with millions poured over the airwaves by the Senate Democrats' campaign arm, and Joe Biden stumping alongside McGinty in recent days, the Democratic establishment helped McGinty secure a victory over a man party leaders have long viewed as a persistent agitator: former Rep. Joe Sestak. McGinty, a former chief of staff to Gov. Tom Wolf, will now face off against first-term GOP Sen. Pat Toomey -- in one of the country's most high-profile Senate races.
Exit polls: Wealth colors viewpoints in 'Acela' states.
Voters in the East Coast primary states that voted Tuesday were likely to have differing views about Wall Street and the economy based on how well-off they are, according to early exit poll results.
About one-half of Republican voters in Maryland and Connecticut reported earning $100,000 or more and nearly six in 10 hold a college degree. Among Republicans in those two states, they are more likely to see Wall Street as helping the economy than voters in Pennsylvania.
Exit polls were not conducted in Delaware and Rhode Island, two states that are also part of Tuesday's primary.
In Pennsylvania, only about one half of Republican voters reported graduating from college and about three in 10 said they earned $100,000 or more. Pennsylvania Republicans generally feel that Wall Street hurts the U.S. economy and about one-half said that foreign trade costs jobs in the U.S.
Jane Sanders: No back tax returns until Clinton releases Wall Street transcripts.
Bernie and Jane Sanders won't release their back tax returns until Democratic rival Hillary Clinton releases the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches, Jane Sanders said Tuesday afternoon.
Bernie Sanders has repeatedly called on the Clinton campaign to release her speeches in an effort to show she's aligned with powerful Wall Street interests.
But he has been slow to answer Clinton's demand to release his tax returns, saying in a CNN debate earlier this month that his wife handles their financial affairs and has been too busy campaigning. The Sanders made public their 2014 return the next evening, showing they earned nearly $206,000 and paid about $28,000 in federal taxes that year.
