How can today's primary elections impact the balance of power in November?
Primary winners in five states will set up competitive House, Senate and governor races that could decide control of Congress.
- Today, voters in Michigan, Virginia, Kansas, Missouri, and Washington are casting ballots in pivotal primary races, including contests to replace term-limited Democratic Gov Gretchen Whitmer and select nominees for the midterms just over 90 days away.
- With about three months until the midterms, uncertainty persists over whether Republicans will maintain control of both chambers or Democrats will regain the House and Senate. A recent CNN poll shows Democrats leading Republicans on the generic ballot.
- Michigan's Senate primary features Rep Haley Stevens, who stated, "Look, when it comes to Michigan, I run through anyone and anything to stand up for us," against Abdul El-Sayed. Virginia's 2nd Congressional District may see a rematch between Rep Jen Kiggans and former Rep Elaine Luria.

- In Washington's 3rd Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defends her seat against Trump-endorsed Congressman Mike Rogers, while Missouri voters choose nominees for House seats and several of Virginia's congressional districts remain key targets for Democrats.
