What to Watch in Tuesday's Primaries
California and Iowa draw the most attention as voters choose nominees in contests that could shape November’s balance of power.
- Voters in six states—California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota—head to the polls today for primary elections, with attention centering on competitive gubernatorial races in California and Iowa.
- California's race to succeed term-limited Governor Gavin Newsom has evolved into a sprawling contest, with polls showing a potential showdown between Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer.
- Steyer has invested more than $213 million of his own fortune in the race and is backed by Our Revolution, a group aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders, while Becerra served 12 terms in Congress before his cabinet appointment.
- In Iowa, voters select a Senate candidate to challenge the Republican nominee while the GOP gubernatorial primary seeks a successor to outgoing Governor Kim Reynolds, with candidates needing 35% of the vote to win outright.
- Republicans face risks in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, where incumbent Representative Tom Kean Jr. faces scrutiny for an unexplained three-month medical absence, having missed more than 100 House votes since March 5.
