It’s election day again with primary races and runoffs taking place Tuesday in five states: ジョージア, テキサス, アラバマ, Arkansas and Minnesota.
Senate primaries are taking place in Georgia — a key state in the fight for control of the chamber — as well as in Alabama and Arkansas. The three states are also hosting gubernatorial primaries that will be closely watched, while Texas holds primary runoffs in key races for state attorney general and the US House. And there are several other House primaries worth keeping an eye on, including races expected to be competitive in the fall; intraparty contests for seats seen as safe for either party; and a special primary election in Minnesota.
Here’s everything you need to know:
ジョージアでは, incumbent Republican Gov. ブライアンケンプ faces a primary challenge from former US Sen. デイビッド・パデュー. 前者 ドナルド・トランプ大統領, angry at Kemp’s role in certifying the 2020 election in the Peach State, is supporting Perdue, but recent polling has shown Kemp with a big lead. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who also earned Trump’s ire for defending the 2020 選挙結果, faces several challengers, including Trump-backed US Rep. ジョディやった. その間, 民主党のセン. Raphael Warnock and Republican ハーシェルウォーカー, a former football star, are expected to win their primaries Tuesday to face off in a key Senate contest this fall.

The state’s senior senator, Republican John Boozman, also faces several primary challengers Tuesday.
In all three states, candidates need to win a majority of the vote to avoid runoffs.
There are also a number of primary runoff elections in Texas. Controversial state Attorney Gen. Ken Paxton, who is seeking a third term, faces off against Texas Land Commissioner George P. ブッシュ, the grandson of former President George H. W. ブッシュ. Paxton finished ahead of Bush, 43% に 23%, in the first round in March.

Abortion rights have become a key issue in the race, with Cuellar the only House Democrat to vote against legislation that would codify abortion rights into federal law.
And in Minnesota, there’s a special primary election to fill the seat of the late Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn. The crowded field of candidates looking to serve the remainder of Hagedorn’s term include his widow and former chair of the Minnesota Republican Party, Jennifer Carnahan.
