Midterm Roundup: A busy primary night

Tuesday had some high-profile primaries but here are some other key results from a day of wild primaries. 

By and

Tuesday’s primaries across the country featured some key races in places like Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Oregon, Idaho and North Carolina. In Oregon, President Joe Biden’s endorsement doesn’t seem to have helped Rep. Kurt Schrader. Though the race hasn’t been called yet, he’s trailing his challenger, Jamie McLeod-Skinner by over 20 percentage points.

And in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump’s endorsed candidate for Senate, Mehmet Oz, hasn’t run away with it. The race is still too close to call, and former hedge fund manager David McCormick is trailing Oz by only 0.20 percentage points.
