Voters in five different states headed to the polls Tuesday to decide on candidates for November's midterm elections.
Primary voters dealt defeats Tuesday to heavily publicized political names, including Rudy Giuliani's son in New York and a pro-Donald Trump election conspiracy theorist in Colorado.
Flood beat Democratic state Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks in the state’s Republican-leaning 1st District, which includes Lincoln and dozens of smaller, mostly conservative towns in eastern Nebraska. A White House official during the Trump years, the younger Giuliani has been semi-famous his entire life. Anderson, the primary winner, now takes on incumbent Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat who has attacked"insider threats" to the security of elections.
The Illinois Republicans faced off after Davis’ purple district was gerrymandered into a solidly red one. Ezell is a sheriff in one of Mississippi’s coastal counties, and he started campaigning for the 4th District seat more than a year ago. He called Palazzo a no-show for skipping debates before the seven-person Republican primary in early June.In November, Ezell will face Democrat Johnny L. DuPree and Libertarian candidate Alden Patrick Johnson.A Democratic primary race – a rare contest between two incumbents – that has been fraught with drama and heartbreak has been decided in Illinois.
Boebert has been particularly outspoken in her support of gun rights, her criticism of the Jan. 6 investigating commission, and her condemnation of President Joe Biden.During a religious service this past weekend, Boebert said: “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution."
The heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District was redrawn after the 2020 census and now stretches from Chicago’s South Side to Kankakee. In New York, the Republicans competing to face Gov. Kathy Hochul in November are in a close race. Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is squaring off against Lee Zeldin, who is considered an establishment Republican.Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker easily defeated activist Beverly Miles, a Chicago nurse and military veteran, in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
Since being elevated to the governor's office in 2018, Stitt has been on the frontlines of many conservative causes. He has signed measures into law that allow residents to carry a firearm without a permit, restarted capitol punishment and banned all abortions beginning at fertilization. Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino and businessman Harry Wilson round out the Republican primary slate.Whoever wins in the Republican primary for Illinois governor, a feature of the contest has been how three billionaires – including Democratic incumbent J.B. Pritzker – are spending big bucks to influence the outcome.
Not to be left out, Bailey had support from a billionaire too. He was helped by a $9 million donation by Richard Uihlein, a shipping company owner, to a political action committee attacking Irvin.As expected, incumbent James Lankford of Oklahoma easily won re-nomination in one of his state's two Republican primaries for the U.S. Senate.
Hochul has painted herself as a steady, experienced hand in government, pointing to her ability to understand what everyday New Yorkers want and need, and vowing to bring transparency to Albany. In recent weeks, she championed her actions in the last days of the state Legislature’s session to pass stricter gun laws in the wake of a racially motivated shooting that left 10 Black people dead in a Buffalo grocery store.
Illinois' main event is the GOP gubernatorial primary, where the winner will face Democratic incumbent J.B. Pritzker. Boebert criticizes Coram for working with legislative Democrats. Her opponent is betting voters alienated by Boebert’s provocations will choose someone more in the tradition of centrists that have played well in the area, including five-term Republican Rep. Scott Tipton, who lost to Boebert in an upset last cycle.GOP Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia scream"Build the Wall" at President Joe Biden on March 1, 2022, in the House chamber in Washington.
Voters headed to the polls the same day that former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson gave chilling testimony about former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. She said Trump knew that his supporters could get violent after they marched to the Capitol to protest his election loss to President Joe Biden.After Trump attacked Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to help him overturn the election, Hutchinson told the Jan.
Fortenberry's resignation went into effect on June 1. The new representative will be in office through January 2023. This primary represents the latest chapter of a new fracturing within the GOP, a party torn between adherence to Trump-perpetuated claims of widespread voter fraud and those who reject those baseless claims. What's left is a tug-of-war between pro-Trump, far-right loyalists candidates and more traditional Republicans for GOP nominations in the primaries.Indicted and rebuked, Colorado secretary of state candidate pushes Trump's false election fraud claimsFive-term incumbent Rep.
