Former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann (D) will run in the Democratic primary to replace Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), who has launched a U.S. Senate bid, according to the Honolulu Star Advertiser.
The Hotline: "Hannemann becomes the most prominent candidate to enter the race for the safe Democratic seat... Hannemann's decision also has implications for the Senate race. Had Hannemann opted for an upper chamber run, the centrist Democrat would have threatened to pull support away from former Rep. Ed Case. Now the Democratic contest is shaping up as a two-candidate race between Case and Hirono."
