The AP has called #PA14 GOP primary for Guy Reschenthaler, who leads Rick Saccone 55-45. GOP threw Saccone under the bus and drive over him several times before dropping a nuke on him after loss to Conor Lamb 2 months ago.

AP calls #PA08 GOP primary for wealthy John Chrin, who has 52-32 lead with 78% in. Will face tough race against Dem Rep. Matt Cartwright, but won’t lack $ in Obama/Trump seat.

#OR04 Dem Rep. Peter DeFazio has beaten Art Robinson four times in a row in seat Clinton narrowly won. GOP responds in 2018 by nominating … Art Robinson. What’s the definition of insanity again?

The AP has called #ORGOV GOP primary for state Rep. Knute Beuhler. Gives party leaders the candidate they want against Kate Brown to try and win office they’ve been locked out of for 30 years

First overall look of the night….
Tuesday’s primaries featured a critical state of Pennsylvania plus a smattering of contests in the not-so-critical states of Nebraska, Idaho, and Oregon.
The realities of a complex array of disparate races each featuring its own local dynamics defy the construction of pat narratives. Left-wing Democrats won some races and lost others, while in other cases former insurgents have no been entirely embraced (or co-opted) by the establishment.
But it’s clear the party is moving in a leftward direction, with even the most mainstream new Democratic candidates on the scene embracing views that would have been extremely daring five or ten years ago. They are also simply riding positive momentum from the national political environment, and in the specific state of Pennsylvania — though not nationally — from some newly favorable district boundaries….
