Primary night churns maps and endorsements from Florida to Alaska

Tuesday’s primary results were largely as expected but featured notable twists: Florida voters shifted toward a mix of candidates with a former Republican and a democratic socialist in statewide races, while one GOP incumbent facing ethics probes was defeated; Wyoming saw Trump’s endorsement struggle as the governor’s race went to a state senator with conservatives performing variably elsewhere; Alaska’s Senate race moved into a ranked-choice path with Dan Sullivan and Mary Peltola advancing and more candidates still to join the general election; Pennsylvania held a tightly watched special election in a Trump-leaning district that could hint at broader midterm dynamics; and AIPAC’s spending influenced a California race, underscoring its ongoing sway in congressional contests.
