Tim Walz, a six-term congressman from Minnesota, and Tony Evers, Wisconsin's 66-year-old state education superintendent, won their states' gubernatorial contests in Democratic primaries on Tuesday.
On the Republican side, Pawlenty's loss in Minnesota Republican gubernatorial primary was widely seen as the latest evidence proving Trump retains strong support among Republican voters.
Weeks before the 2016 Election Day and in the wake of the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump boasted about grabbing women, Pawlenty openly called Trump "unsound, uninformed, unhinged and unfit to be president."
"The Republican Party has shifted...It is the era of Trump, and I'm just not a Trump-like politician," Pawlenty lamented.
"Republicans proved once again that they will punish primary candidates who have disparaged Donald Trump," John Fund, a political columnist for National Review, commented on Wednesday.
In primaries, Democrats go for diversity and Republicans go for Trump supporters, he observed.
Some analysts are concerned that big wins of progressives on Tuesday, which have reenforced the trend of growing strength of Democratic Party's left wing since the 2016 general elections, may set up high-stakes mid-term election battles against their Republican rivals.
