The sun is finally beginning to set on the midterm primary season, as races across Florida, Wyoming, and Alaska will be decided tonight. With Election Day looming just 77 days from now, here are the races to watch during Townhall’s live coverage:
Alaska’s Senate primary will prove to be one of the most interesting races of the cycle. Fresh off of a scandalous campaign staff shake-up and a rejection of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s endorsement, Democrat Mary Peltola’s star appears to be rapidly fading. Incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan will look to survive by defeating a nefarious Democrat scheme to recruit a candidate by the same name as a ploy to confuse voters.
Florida is set to nominate candidates for an open-seat gubernatorial race for the first time since Republican Ron DeSantis took the reins in 2019, with Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds considered to be the heavy favorite to escape the crowded GOP field.
Florida will also select candidates in a special election to replace now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Republican incumbent Ashley Moody, who is backed by Trump and Sens. Ted Cruz and Rick Scott, will look to retain power while facing off against three challengers. Democrats will choose between State Rep. Angie Nixon and attention-seeking Alex Vindman.
Wyoming Republicans will look to replace retiring Trump-ally Cynthia Lummis. Rep. Harriet Hageman, endorsed by Trump, Lummis, and a litany of powerful conservative allies, appears to be the clear frontrunner.
Stay tuned for these races and much more as we watch an exciting night of election results!
