As Maryland, West Virginia and Nebraska vote in today's primaries, here's what to know
Voters in West Virginia, Maryland and Nebraska head to the polls for primaries Tuesday, while North Carolina holds primary runoffs. Here's what to watch for.
Voters head to the polls in four states Tuesday for primaries that will set up key Senate races and settle other intraparty battles, including a race that features a Jan. 6 Capitol rioter and another featuring a police officer who battled the rioters that day.
Maryland, West Virginia and Nebraska are holding primaries, and North Carolina is holding runoffs for races in which candidates didn’t win majorities of the vote in its March primaries.
Former President Donald Trump’s endorsement is on the line in West Virginia, where he shaped the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin. And Trump is sure to notch two endorsement wins in North Carolina, where two of his preferred House candidates — lobbyist Addison McDowell and attorney Brad Knott — are the only candidates left standing in a pair of primary runoffs after their opponents ended their campaigns.
Meanwhile, a few Republican lawmakers are looking to fend off primary challengers from their right, and a handful of open seats in Maryland will also help shape the Democratic caucus next year.
Polls close at 7:30 p.m. ET in West Virginia and North Carolina, 8 p.m. ET in Maryland and 9 p.m. ET in Nebraska. Here are four things to watch.
