Michigan Democrats choose between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, and more races to watch today

Key Points:

• Michigan's Democratic Senate primary between progressive Abdul El-Sayed and moderate Haley Stevens is closely watched, as the seat is crucial for Democrats to maintain Senate control; Gov. Gretchen Whitmer backs Stevens, while Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez support El-Sayed.
• In Virginia, Democrats are targeting several House districts despite a court ruling invalidating their preferred congressional map, with competitive primaries in key districts aiming to flip seats from Republicans.
• Missouri's redistricting has created a GOP-favored district challenging longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, while the Democratic primary in the state's 1st district features a rematch between Rep. Wesley Bell and former Rep. Cori Bush.
• Washington's 3rd Congressional District has a competitive nonpartisan primary with Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez facing multiple challengers, including Trump-backed Republican state Sen. John Braun, in a district that voted for Trump but elected a Democrat.
• Kansas' governor's race is open due to term limits on Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, with three Democrats and seven Republicans competing; Trump has endorsed Republican Ty Masterson, while Kelly supports Democrat Ethan Corson.
