NH Primary Sees Democrats Outpace Republicans by 40,000 Votes

New Hampshire’s primary produced a sizable turnout edge for Democrats, who cast roughly 153,343 votes in the Senate races to Republicans’ 111,018 (about 38% more). Key results: Republicans backed John Sununu over Scott Brown for the Senate nomination; Democrats backed Chris Pappas over Karishma Manzur; in the 1st District, Stefany Shaheen won the Democratic nomination over Maura Sullivan, and Anthony DiLorenzo won the GOP nomination; in the 2nd District, Maggie Goodlander won the Democratic nomination and Lily Tang Williams the GOP nomination. Official totals for governor, executive council, and state Legislature were not yet released, and eight NH House incumbents were defeated in the primaries, mostly Republicans. The turnout dynamics suggest Democratic strength could help down-ballot races in November.

Massachusetts Senate primary pits veteran Markey against generational challenger Moulton

Incumbent Sen. Ed Markey, backed by progressive champions, faces Rep. Seth Moulton in Massachusetts’ Democratic Senate primary in a battle over age and ideology.

Mikie Sherrill and the Boston Globe. The two clash on issues like ICE and transgender athletes, though both agree on some positions.
