Trump’s endorsements set the stage as Tuesday primaries reshape battleground races

Voters in Oklahoma, the District of Columbia, Alabama, Georgia and California head to the polls Tuesday as primaries launch the general-election campaigns for Senate and governor in battleground Georgia. Trump endorsements loom large: in Georgia, Mike Collins faces Derek Dooley in a Senate runoff while Burt Jones battles Rick Jackson for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, with Kemp backing Dooley and others backing Jones; Alabama’s Senate runoff pits Barry Moore against Jared Hudson; Oklahoma’s slate includes Mazzei for governor and Hern for Senate, plus a lieutenant governor race with Trump backing T.W. Shannon; DC’s mayoral race could take days to resolve under ranked-choice voting; California’s 14th District will elect a replacement for Swalwell in a special election. Additionally, open-seat contests in Oklahoma’s 1st District and Georgia’s 11th District could produce new House members.
