Florida voters choose in governor, Senate primaries and more races to watch today
Key Points:
- Florida is holding primaries for governor and Senate, with GOP Rep. Byron Donalds leading the crowded governor's race and Ashley Moody favored for the Senate nomination; new congressional district maps favor Republicans in most districts.
- The Florida governor's race features far-right candidate James Fishback, who promotes white nationalist views, but Donalds maintains a commanding lead with Trump's backing and substantial fundraising.
- Alaska's nonpartisan Senate primary includes incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan, former Rep. Mary Peltola, and another candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan, raising concerns over voter confusion; Peltola and Sullivan lead fundraising efforts.
- Wyoming's open GOP Senate seat sees former Trump-backed Harriet Hageman as the frontrunner among five primary candidates, while Democrats have two contenders for the general election.
- California's 14th District special election features two Democrats, state Sen. Aisha Wahab and Melissa Hernandez, competing to fill former Rep. Eric Swalwell's vacated seat amid ongoing misconduct allegations against Swalwell.
