The most consequential primary night since Super Tuesday has finally arrived. Here’s our insider guide to the most important races:
Voters in nine states plus the District of Columbia are going to the polls as campaigning springs back to life after three months in dormancy. Joe Biden will pad his delegate total, but the most closely-watched primaries by far are down the ballot — including one that could spell the defeat of an incumbent congressman, Republican Steve King of Iowa, who members of his own party have described as a bigot.
Greenfield is still the odds-on favorite on Tuesday. But she needs to clear 35 percent to clinch the nomination. Otherwise the nomination fight heads to a party convention, where delegates might be torn between Greenfield’s national support and some raw feelings on the ground about the party’s intervention in the primary.
But there are three other Republicans running, and it’s possible they could split the anti-King vote. If that happens, King could either clinch the nomination outright or it would go to a convention. Republican Yvette Herrell, a conservative former state legislator who lost to Torres Small in 2018, is back for a rematch. But most national Republicans think the GOP would be better off with new blood, identifying businesswoman Claire Chase as a top recruit.
Torres Small, meanwhile, had $3.1 million in cash on hand for the fall as of mid-May — a formidable sum, even in a difficult district for Democrats to hold.Nothing opens the political floodgates like a safe congressional seats that comes open after three decades.
