Tuesday’s primary is hosting some of the most expensive general election races in the fall. Rice vigorously defended his referral vote, recently telling Politico that “I think it was one of the worst, if not the worst, things a president has ever done in attacking the Constitution and segregating powers.” Trump backed Fry in the race. The former president issued a solemn statement Tuesday night calling Fry’s victory “the biggest news of the night so far is that Russell Fry beat Impeach Master Tom Rice by more than 51%, so WINNING IMMEDIATELY without need to run. -away from.”

CBS News reports that MP Nancy Mace won the Republican primary in the 1st District of South Carolina. Mays, a freshman Republican who turned South Carolina’s 1st district from blue to red, defeated former Trump’s GOP nominee Katie Arrington for the 2018 GOP nominee who lost to Democratic T Cunningham. Mays voted to certify the 2020 election results and to despise Trump’s ally, Congress, for failing to comply with the Jan. 6 selection committee. She was also outspoken against Trump’s behavior in the immediate aftermath of the January 6 attack. Trump issued a statement Saturday saying Mays was “despised by almost everyone” and said he was “fighting Republicans all the time and not at all good about it.” But on Tuesday night, Trump issued a statement to Truth Social saying, “Katie Arrington was a long way off, but she ran a great race and did very well. Congratulations to Nancy Mace, who could easily beat her Democratic opponent!” “ Anna Moneymaker / Getty Images, Sean Rayford / Getty Images Incumbent Republican Sen. Tim Scott did not face any major protagonists on Tuesday and is expected to easily beat South Carolina in November. But he has raised nearly $ 40 million so far, more than any other Republican. Democrats Catherine Fleming Bruce, Angela Geter and state Krystle Matthews are vying to face Scott. In the gubernatorial race, Trump-backed Republican Gov. Henry McMaster defeated his main rival, Harrison Macelwight. On the Democratic side, Cunningham, who lost his seat in Parliament to Mays in 2018, won the primary, defeating state Sen. Mia McLeod and several others. Also in the spotlight is Nevada, the state that officially gave President Biden several electoral votes to win the presidency in 2020. Mr Biden won the state by less than three points in 2020 and the state’s economy has been hit hard by inflation and the Pandemic covid19. Republicans hope to overthrow the Senate and the governor’s mansion in the fall – and several Republicans are running to succeed the caretaker Secretary of State, who has refused to turn down the election results in Trump’s favor.

Ted Cruz of Texas, and Donald Trump of Junaidra with Laxalt. Cortez Masto won the Democratic primary. He has already raised large sums before November – almost $ 20 million last year – and went on the first day with more than $ 9 million in cash.
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak has won the Democratic primary for governor. Sisolak, who was elected in 2018, was the first Democrat to win the governor’s mansion in more than 20 years. Fifteen Republicans participate in the qualifying ballot for governor. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, former boxer Joey Gilbert, former U.S. Senator Dean Heller, North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee and businessman Guy Nora are leading the field so far. Jim Martshad won the Republican primary for Nevada Secretary of State. A former state lawmaker, Marchand told the Wall Street Journal last year that he did not know if Biden won the state in 2020 and “would not have certified” the election. Marchant also told the Guardian that he would be open to sending an alternative voter list to Congress in 2024. He also falsely claimed that the 2020 election “stole” from him and Trump. Marchant lost to agent Steven Horsford and unsuccessfully challenged the results. Marchant and another candidate in the race, former Clark County District Court Judge Richard Scotti, have said they will push for certification of Dominion ballot machines, which are used by almost all Nevada counties. The machines have been at the center of some electoral conspiracies and the company has filed lawsuits against certain high profile personalities who spread these allegations. Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, who has a limited tenure, has been hit hard by Trump supporters since the 2020 election, including a reprimand from the ruling party. There is no credible evidence of widespread fraud that could alter Nevada results. In the 1st District of the Nevada Congress, Democratic MP Dina Titus won the primary election. He defeated progressive Amy Villa, backed by Sen. Bernie Saunders. In the 2nd District, national Republican groups have been involved to support MP Mark Amodei in his primary. Amodei is being challenged by Danny Tarkanian, a Douglas County commissioner who has had unsuccessful congressional nominations over the past decade. In the special election to fill the rest of the term of the Democratic MP Filemon Vela in the 34th District of Texas, the Republicans won in the short term with the Republican Mayra Flores gaining enough votes, 50% of the total turnout, to win the race to win. . the position until January. Vela resigned in March to work for a lobby company. Republicans hope Tuesday’s victory will give them the edge in overturning the district in November, where Flores will face Democrat Vicente Gonzalez. Although peripherals will lean more toward Democrats in November than the version used in the special election, the victory comes as Republicans continue to invest in contact with Hispanic voters in this region and across the country on issues such as economy and immigration. Flores and Republican groups spent nearly $ 1 million on special election campaigns, while National Democratic groups spent only a fraction of their resources on the race.
