"Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky yesterday lost the Republican House primary by nearly 10 percentage points. Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein secured the victory over Massie, who is the latest Republican lawmaker to lose his seat after angering the president. This became the most expensive House primary in history, with $33 million spent on TV ads, much of it directed at Massie, according to NPR's ad-tracking partner AdImpact."
"Several U.S. House primaries in Alabama won't be counted and will require special elections in a few months due to redistricting, NPR's Stephen Fowler tells Up First. The state is reverting some districts to older lines that are more favorable to Republicans. In many other races across the U.S., the general election was essentially held yesterday because so many were uncontested, Fowler said."
"Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Democratic primary for Georgia governor and will face the Republican runoff winner. In the GOP primary, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones will compete against healthcare executive Rick Jackson next month."
"Yesterday, Trump said he was an hour away from deciding to launch new strikes against Iran before he called them off. He said he delayed them because "serious negotiations" were happening, and said he would give Iran two or three days or maybe a week to reach a deal. Vice President Vance later presented a slightly different perspective, indicating that Iran has two options: Continue negotiations or face a restart of the military campaign."
Ed Gallrein won the Kentucky Republican House primary against Rep. Thomas Massie by nearly 10 percentage points. The race became the most expensive House primary in history, with $33 million spent on TV ads largely targeting Massie. Several Alabama U.S. House primaries will not be counted because redistricting will require special elections later. In many other races, the general election was effectively decided because many contests were uncontested. In Georgia, Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Democratic gubernatorial primary and will face the Republican runoff winner. Burt Jones will face Rick Jackson in the GOP runoff. Trump said he delayed potential strikes against Iran due to serious negotiations and indicated Iran would be given time to reach a deal, while Vance described two options: continued negotiations or restarting the military campaign.
