An endorsement from President Donald Trump is worth a lot in Republican primaries. But is it worth more than $100 million in Georgia? Can it propel a congressman past an insurgent outsider in Alabama? Can it transform a candidate into a front-runner in Oklahoma?<\/p>\n

Trump has been at the center of this year\u2019s midterm campaigns, and his influence will be tested in different ways Tuesday as four states and the District of Columbia hold primaries.<\/p>\n

Among Democrats, the primaries will hinge on longstanding divides between progressives and moderates as the party tries to chart the best path forward to November.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest:<\/p>\n

The top candidates for DC mayor vow to push back on Trump<\/p>\n

The two front-runners, D.C. Council member Janeese Lewis George and former member Kenyan McDuffie, both say outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser should have been less cooperative with federal authorities as they targeted the city\u2019s immigrant communities.<\/p>\n

Both candidates also said they would bolster the city\u2019s legal defenses against federal overreach.<\/p>\n

Lewis George, a self-described democratic socialist, told The Associated Press that her top priority is addressing \u201cthe affordability crisis here in D.C.,\u201d which she said was made worse by the Trump administration \u201cfiring federal employees en masse and militarizing our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDuffie said his top priority is public safety as crime continues to be an issue. He has said he would add 1,000 police officers over four years, fully staff the 911 call center after years of chronic staffing shortages and take a public health approach to violence reduction.<\/p>\n

A presidential threat again hangs over the ballot in DC<\/p>\n

Washington voters are headed to the polls as the president is once again threatening to take over the capital \u2014 but this time because of his opposition to mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George.<\/p>\n

In the past, Trump\u2019s threats have been about crime and cleanliness. His refrain from his campaign to inauguration was the city as a \u201cdirty, crime-ridden death trap.\u201d<\/p>\n

He briefly seemed to back off, saying aboard Air Force One that he and Mayor Muriel Bowser \u201cget along great.\u201d But by last August, he was declaring a public safety emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to take our capital back,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The National Guard was brought in and remains today. Trump has touted his actions as the reason for historic drops in crime.<\/p>\n

Alabama ballot features heated runoffs for statewide offices<\/p>\n

Alabama\u2019s primary runoffs Tuesday include heated contests for lieutenant governor and attorney general.<\/p>\n

For lieutenant governor, Secretary of State Wes Allen and former Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl are battling for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n

As a state lawmaker, Allen sponsored legislation to ban curbside voting and to criminalize gender transition treatments for minors. The state library board, which Wahl leads, voted to remove books about being transgender from the youth sections of public libraries.<\/p>\n

Th lieutenant governor presides over the Alabama Senate and takes over as governor if the governor dies or resigns, but the position has limited power. The winner will face Democrat Phillip Ensler in November.<\/p>\n

For the GOP nomination for attorney general, former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell faces Katherine Robertson, who is chief counsel to current Attorney General Steve Marshall.<\/p>\n

Mitchell has emphasized his courtroom experience, while Robertson has emphasized her work in the attorney general\u2019s office. The winner will face Democrat Jeff McLaughlin in November.<\/p>\n

Georgia\u2019s governor primary pits Trump\u2019s endorsement against a lot of money<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s preferred primary candidates have a strong record so far in 2026. But none have faced a self-funded rival with Rick Jackson\u2019s spending power.<\/p>\n

Trump has backed Burt Jones, who, as lieutenant governor, was part of Trump\u2019s attempt to overturn his 2020 defeat to Joe Biden, and the president has repeatedly praised Jones\u2019 loyalty.<\/p>\n

Jackson has chipped in more than $93 million of his own money to win the nomination. The 71-year-old businessman amassed a fortune from his company that provides contract healthcare personnel, and he\u2019s used it to blanket television and online platforms with ads.<\/p>\n

Trump and the National Guard are on DC voters\u2019 minds<\/p>\n

President Trump and the continuing presence of military uniforms in the city were among central themes for voters casting ballots in the Washington, D.C., primary.<\/p>\n

Fran Tatu, 69, said she voted for Janeese Lewis George. \u201cMany years she\u2019s been in the streets with us activating, getting out there, with us in the movements standing up for the rights for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatu said she also supported current council member Robert White Jr., in his contest to replace longtime non-voting delegate to Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s at stake \u2014 many young lives with the surge of federal officers by Trump and all of the troops that are here,\u201d she said, citing one instance where Immigration and Customs Enforcement was detaining riders getting off public transportation. \u201cWe called Janeese and she showed up in her purple coat to check on her constituents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Republicans fielding largest candidate slate in Washington, DC, since 1992<\/p>\n

Although voters in the District of Columbia are overwhelmingly Democrats, the local GOP is fielding its largest group of candidates in more than 30 years.<\/p>\n

Those candidates include Manuel Rivera, who’s the first Republican ever to seek the Attorney General seat. He’s running unopposed in the primary.<\/p>\n

Republicans are also running for chair of the D.C. Council and Council members for Wards 1, 5, 6 and at-large, Member of the Council for Wards 1, 5, and 6, and Delegate to Congress, where Denise Rosado is running unopposed and will advance to the general election.<\/p>\n

As of May 31, there were about 481,000 registered voters in Washington. More than three-quarters of them, about 363,000, were registered Democrats. Roughly 25,000, or 5%, were registered Republicans and about 18%, or roughly 86,000, were not affiliated with any party.<\/p>\n

Georgia GOP chairman says Republicans will be united Wednesday morning<\/p>\n

Josh McKoon knows there are differing opinions and a web of endorsements flying around the Georgia Republican Party. Most notably, the outgoing governor, Brian Kemp, and the president are on opposite sides in the Senate.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re now aligned in the race for Kemp\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve heard this narrative for so long about Donald Trump Republicans and Brian Kemp Republicans,\u201d McKoon said. But their mutual support for Burt Jones \u201cspeaks to the ability of Republicans to come together ahead of a general election.\u201d<\/p>\n

McKoon acknowledged Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms have had a head start. They had no runoffs. But McKoon said Wednesday morning will be a \u201cfresh start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, in the Senate race, either Derek Dooley or Mike Collins will face a big financial gap. Earlier this spring, Ossoff had $32.5 million on hand. Each Republican had less than $2 million.<\/p>\n

These are the Republicans vying to serve out Swalwell\u2019s term<\/p>\n

Wendy Huang is a real estate investor with past experience working in Silicon Valley, a background she\u2019s touted while emphasizing that artificial intelligence will be a defining part of the economy. She\u2019s focused on reducing the cost of housing and prescription drugs.<\/p>\n

Dena Maldonado, who runs a floral business, says she wants to stop insider trading in Congress, protect the Second Amendment, install term limits and to stop \u201cendless wars.\u201d She has framed her decision to run around bringing transparency to what happens in the nation\u2019s capital and how taxpayer dollars are spent.<\/p>\n

The top-two primary is nonpartisan. Any Republican making it through to the special general election will have a tough time pulling out a win in a seat that has been safely Democratic.<\/p>\n

These are the Democrats running to serve out Swalwell\u2019s term<\/p>\n

Eleven candidates are running in the special primary, which sends the top two voter-getters to a special general election regardless of party affiliation.<\/p>\n

Democratic state Sen. Aisha Wahab has focused on housing costs and consumer protections such as banning junk fees. She’s endorsed by the state Democratic Party and has leaned into her story of living through foster care and adoption in California.<\/p>\n

Another Democratic candidate is Melissa Hernandez, a former mayor of the East Bay city of Dublin, who says she\u2019ll tackle high costs by supporting small businesses and helping create jobs. She\u2019s also emphasized expanding access to healthcare and childcare.<\/p>\n

Both candidates also ran in the regular primary election seeking the full two-year term to the House seat.<\/p>\n

In Georgia, two original tea party organizers take different sides<\/p>\n

Jenny Beth Martin and Debbie Dooley were on the front lines of the early tea party movement during Barack Obama\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n

In Georgia\u2019s GOP Senate runoff, they\u2019re on different sides. Each insists her candidate is the one to defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in the fall.<\/p>\n

Martin backs Rep. Mike Collins, a self-declared \u201cMAGA warrior\u201d with Trump\u2019s endorsement. Dooley supports first-time candidate Derek Dooley (no relation).<\/p>\n

Martin says energizing the conservative base is necessary to protect Republican majorities that aren\u2019t populated with Republican \u201canti-Trumpers\u201d or \u201cliberals like Jon Ossoff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Debbie Dooley says Collins has too much baggage and hard-right ties to win. \u201cHe will drag down the whole Republican ticket in Georgia,\u201d she predicted. \u201cThis is about actually winning. It\u2019s not about just following Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Debbie Dooley and Martin have diverged before. In 2016, Dooley backed Trump from the start. Martin backed Ted Cruz for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n

GOP candidates for Alabama Senate seat feud over military service<\/p>\n

The closing days of the Senate runoff between U.S. Rep. Barry Moore and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson have been marked by a heated back-and-forth over military service.<\/p>\n

Some of Hudson\u2019s supporters have accused Moore, a three-term congressman, of inflating his military record.<\/p>\n

Moore served in the Alabama National Guard and U.S Army Reserves, and has often emphasized his veteran status. He ran an ad in 2020 saying he knows how to support veterans because he\u2019s been in combat boots.<\/p>\n

In a recent video, Moore called it a \u201cgarbage swamp tactic\u201d to suggest Guardsmen and reservists aren\u2019t veterans. He said he never claimed to have been in combat.<\/p>\n

The two are seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who’s running for governor.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s status as GOP kingmaker faces another test in Oklahoma<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s early backing of Republican Rep. Kevin Hern for the U.S. Senate seat previously held by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin kept other potential big challengers at bay in Oklahoma, which hasn\u2019t elected a Democratic senator since 1990.<\/p>\n

A bigger test may come in the crowded race to succeed outgoing Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt.<\/p>\n

Trump last month endorsed former state Sen. Mike Mazzei. Other prominent Oklahoma Republicans seeking the nomination include Attorney General Gentner Drummond, former Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall and Chip Keating, the state\u2019s former public safety director.<\/p>\n

District of Columbia\u2019s mayor shows up to vote<\/p>\n

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser greeted supporters as she arrived to cast her primary vote at Shepard Park Elementary on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

This fall, current council members Janeese Lewis George and Kenyan McDuffie are the front-runners vying to replace Bowser, who was elected in 2014.<\/p>\n

Runoffs for Georgia elections chief carry 2028 undertones<\/p>\n

Georgia\u2019s secretary of state election is open for the first time since Trump\u2019s attempts to subvert the 2020 election, famously pressuring outgoing Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to \u201cfind 11,800 votes\u201d to overtake Democrat Joe Biden. Raffensperger refused.<\/p>\n

For his potential successor, Republicans are left to choose between an outright election denier, Vernon Jones, and a state lawmaker, Tim Fleming, who avoids explicitly disputing the president\u2019s 2020 election lies.<\/p>\n

Democrats will choose between Dana Barrett, a Fulton County commissioner, and Penny Brown Reynolds, a former state judge in Fulton County who also served in the Biden administration as deputy assistant secretary for civil rights for the Department of Agriculture.<\/p>\n

In Georgia Senate race, Collins supporter likes his immigration stance<\/p>\n

Retired software engineer James Haddad emigrated from Jordan and became a U.S. citizen in 1983. He backs Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia\u2019s GOP Senate runoff because of Collins\u2019 hard-line approach on immigration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m an immigrant, but I\u2019m a legal immigrant,\u201d Haddad said. \u201cJust follow the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collins hopes to defeat former football coach Derek Dooley and then draw contrasts on immigration with Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe congressman is a good American who puts America first,\u201d said Haddad, a 66-year-old from Woodstock.<\/p>\n

Collins sponsored the 2025 Laken Riley Act, named for a Georgia nursing student killed by a man in the U.S. illegally. The law requires immigrants charged with certain crimes to be held without bond.<\/p>\n

Ossoff voted against an initial version but backed it after Trump returned to power.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that some immigrants have ruined it for others,\u201d Haddad said.<\/p>\n

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is playing an insider-outsider game<\/p>\n

The outgoing Republican governor passed on a Senate bid and recruited his former football coach Derek Dooley. Kemp\u2019s spent months saying it\u2019ll take an \u201coutsider\u201d to defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, until Sunday, Kemp sat out the Republican tussle to be his successor. That runoff pits the sitting lieutenant governor against a first-time candidate. Rick Jackson, a billionaire businessman, labels himself an \u201coutsider\u201d in his ads and plastered the word on his campaign tour bus.<\/p>\n

Yet Kemp opted for Burt Jones, the Capitol insider. Campaigning with Jones on Monday, Kemp said there\u2019s no contradiction in his message.<\/p>\n

His reasoning, essentially: Georgia state government has been run by Republicans for a generation and things are great, whereas in Washington, where Dooley would go, Congress is often deadlocked and has atrocious approval ratings. But Kemp did not note that Republicans have a trifecta with Trump as president and GOP majorities on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Why are there 2 elections for Swalwell\u2019s California seat?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the regular race in November that will determine who’ll be sworn in come January and serve a full, two-year term in the U.S. House.<\/p>\n

But since Swalwell resigned early following sexual assault allegations, there\u2019s also the special election that will decide who will serve out the rest of his current term until January.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s primary will decide the top two candidates for the special general election on August 18. But if one candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, they\u2019ll win outright and there won\u2019t be a general election.<\/p>\n

Sen. Ted Cruz says he\u2019s not trying to separate himself from Trump<\/p>\n

The Texas senator has gotten more active on the Republican campaign circuit.<\/p>\n

In Republican governor\u2019s races in South Carolina and Georgia, Cruz finds himself on the opposing side from the president.<\/p>\n

Cruz was in Georgia ahead of Tuesday\u2019s runoff to stump for billionaire Rick Jackson. Trump backs Jackson\u2019s rival, Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones.<\/p>\n

In the upcoming South Carolina runoff the GOP governor nomination, Cruz backs longtime state Attorney General Alan Wilson over Trump\u2019s pick, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette.<\/p>\n

Cruz, who finished second in Republicans 2016 presidential nominating fight, insisted he\u2019s not picking fights with Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot remotely,\u201d Cruz said Monday. He noted he and Trump have both endorsed former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu in his U.S. Senate bid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president and I agree on the vast majority of races,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cWhat I try to do in every race is endorse the strongest conservative who can win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rick Jackson says he\u2019s spending his own fortune to help people<\/p>\n

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson choked up a bit in the closing hours of his GOP runoff campaign explaining why he\u2019s spent nearly $100 million of his own money on the race.<\/p>\n

Jackson called his wealth \u201cGod\u2019s money\u201d that he directs \u201cthe best I can.\u201d And he compared his campaign spending to his years of philanthropy, especially to help children in foster care, where he spent part of his childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want our kids, our foster kids and everybody else, to have hope, you know,\u201d he told a lunch crowd Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have lived in poverty,\u201d Jackson continued. \u201cWhen you, when you have not eaten, you never forget that you don\u2019t forget the people that are struggling.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a stark contrast to Jackson\u2019s tone in some of his television ads, including a promise that migrants who are in Georgia illegally and commit crimes will be \u201cdeported or departed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Tuesday\u2019s elections in Washington, DC, matter<\/p>\n

Voters in the nation\u2019s capital are selecting party candidates for mayor and the district\u2019s delegate to Congress.<\/p>\n

Mayor Muriel Bowser, who isn\u2019t seeking reelection, has walked a fine line between staying in Trump\u2019s good graces and responding to the concerns of constituents, many of whom said she didn\u2019t push back hard enough on Trump\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

The district\u2019s long-serving congressional delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton, is also stepping down.<\/p>\n

The election is taking place as Washington undergoes major change under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Washington has limited autonomy and federal leaders retain significant control over local affairs, including the approval of the budget and laws passed by the D.C. Council.<\/p>\n

In Georgia, Trump\u2019s endorsements reflect his fixation on 2020<\/p>\n

In 2020, a Georgia state senator named Burt Jones was part of Donald Trump\u2019s alternate Electoral College slate and backed the president\u2019s scheme to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Trump has referenced Jones\u2019 \u201cloyalty\u201d many times since, including when endorsing his bid for governor. Jones, now the lieutenant governor, faces billionaire businessman Rick Jackson in a Tuesday runoff for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n

\u201cBurt was strongly committed to my Campaign in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and worked tirelessly to help us WIN,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social on the eve of the runoff. \u201cHe has been with us from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

A day earlier, Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins in a Senate runoff over former football coach Derek Dooley. The president chided Dooley for saying (months ago and not as a feature of his campaign) that Trump did indeed lose Georgia in 2020.<\/p>\n

Collins, meanwhile, has consistently echoed Trump\u2019s false claims of a \u201crigged\u201d election.<\/p>\n

Alabama GOP primary is latest test of Trump\u2019s endorsements<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s endorsed candidates have mostly done well so far in the midterm primaries. But the open U.S. Senate race in Alabama will be another test of his endorsement power.<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore, a three-term congressman, faces former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in the GOP runoff. Trump endorsed Moore early in the campaign, but he’s been forced into a heated race with Hudson, a political newcomer.<\/p>\n

Hudson, borrowing a page from Trump\u2019s original playbook, has tried to depict Moore as a political insider and has urged voters to send an outsider to Washington.<\/p>\n

Trump held a telephone rally for Moore last week.<\/p>\n

The candidates are seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who’s running for governor. The winner will face the Democratic nominee in November.<\/p>\n

2 open races set off a political scramble in heavily Republican Oklahoma<\/p>\n

GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt is term-limited, and former U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin vacated his seat to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary.<\/p>\n

Republican Alan Armstrong, an energy executive, is filling the U.S. Senate seat for now, but state law prohibits him from seeking a full term as an interim appointee.<\/p>\n

Rep. Kevin Hern, a four-term congressman endorsed by Trump, is running against four other candidates of lesser profile in the Republican Senate primary.<\/p>\n

The GOP primary for governor is more crowded, with nine names on the ballot, including several prominent Republicans. That could lead to an Aug. 25 runoff if no candidate receives at least 50% of the vote to win outright.<\/p>\n
