Trump-endorsed favorites stumble and upsets bloom in Florida, Alaska, Wyoming primaries

Florida’s governor race looks set to replace Ron DeSantis with GOP Rep. Byron Donalds facing Democrat David Jolly, while a Democratic socialist, Angie Nixon, wins Florida’s Senate primary and incumbents Moskowitz and Wasserman Schultz survive in newly redrawn House districts; Rep. Cory Mills loses amid ethics investigations. In Alaska, incumbent Dan Sullivan and former Rep. Mary Peltola advance to the general as a second Dan Sullivan (Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.) could appear on the ballot, complicating the race. In Wyoming, Trump-backed candidates falter for governor as Eric Barlow wins the GOP nomination and Harriet Hageman takes the Senate primary. Overall, the night showcases a mix of endorsements and surges, with redistricting and ballot quirks influencing outcomes.
