First, there’s the Democratic primary for #IASen, where DSCC-backed Theresa Greenfield is facing Mike Franken, Eddie Mauro, and Kimberly Graham to run against GOP Sen. Joni Ernst. If no candidate gets >35% of the vote, the race goes to a party convention businessinsider.com/iowa-senate-de…
The most-watched House primary today is in #IA04, where embattled GOP Rep. Steve King — after losing his committee assignments and being largely shunned by his party — is facing a well-funded primary challenge from GOP State Sen. Randy Feenstra businessinsider.com/steve-king-vs-…
In New Mexico, there’s a crowded and competitive Dem primary in #NM03 to replace Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, who is running for Senate. The two main candidates are former CIA analyst Valerie Plame and local attorney/community advocate Teresa Leger Fernandez businessinsider.com/valerie-plame-…
Down in #NM02, a key 2020 battleground that Dems narrowly won back in 2018, there’s a competitive primary mainly between former state Rep & 2018 nominee Yvette Herrell and energy exec Claire Chase that has been marked by personal attacks & negative ads businessinsider.com/new-mexico-2nd…
Current Gov. Steve Bullock is expected to easily win the Dem nomination for #MTSen, but there are competitive Dem and GOP primaries for the open #MTAL seat, which current Rep. Greg Gianforte is vacating to run for Governor (via my colleague @eliza_relman) businessinsider.com/montana-congre…
Over in Indiana, there are two interesting primaries to watch in #IN01, a safe Democratic open seat in the Northwest part of the state, and #IN05, a GOP-held open seat in the Indianapolis suburbs that Dems are aiming to win back this year, per @adamwren businessinsider.com/indiana-congre…
In PA there’s a crowded GOP primary to take on Dem Matt Cartwright in #PA08 and notable Dem primaries in GOP-controlled #PA01 and #PA10. (We won't get results for the latter 2 until next week due to extended absentee ballot deadlines in some counties) businessinsider.com/pennsylvania-c…
There are also primaries in all 7 of Maryland’s House districts, including in #MD05 where Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is facing a Justice Democrats-backed primary challenge from @MeetMckayla businessinsider.com/maryland-congr…
Last but not least, we have the Democratic primary for the Baltimore mayoral election, where incumbent Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young is fighting for re-election in a crowded field including former Mayor Sheila Dixon and City Council President Brandon Scott businessinsider.com/who-won-baltim…
