Gardner said he would withdraw last month after it came to light that he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in 2006 after being accused of peeping through windows at a North Dakota State University women’s dormitory.
Gardner had beaten Jaeger for the party endorsement in April.
Gardner’s name still appeared on the Tuesday’s primary ballot, and he received more than 54,000 votes.
Jaeger says he’ll run as an independent in the November general election.
Fargo state Rep. Josh Boschee is the endorsed Democrat for the seat.
