In one of the last primary election days before next month's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and Democrats' August convention in Chicago, voters in a handful of states made their choice in state and congressional intraparty contests on Tuesday.
This week, the primary path to November stopped in Maine, Nevada, North Dakota, and South Carolina. Plus, voters in Ohio turned out for a special congressional election.

Editor's Note: We are facing the most consequential election in our nation's history. America won't survive another four years of Democrats. Help Townhall tell the truth about the 2024 election as the left-wing, mainstream media propagandists do all they can to support the Democrats.
