On top of EVERYTHING going on across America?
We DO have primary voting to be done on Tuesday….
The Hill goes over the important races to be settled ….
Eight states and Washington, D.C., will hold primaries on Tuesday, marking the busiest electoral day since the start of the coronavirus outbreak in mid-March.
Besides presidential contests, the races include a number of congressional primaries, which could have implications for the fight to control the House and Senate in November.
In Iowa, Rep. Steve King (R) will fight to defend his House seat from a GOP challenge from businessman Randy Feenstra, who has been backed by much of the Republican establishment.
Meanwhile, in Montana, Gov. Steve Bullock (D) is likely to clinch his party’s Senate nomination as Democrats look to flip Sen. Steve Daines‘s (R) seat in the fall.
Here are the key races to watch in Tuesday’s primaries…..
Biden wins Montana primary…
Biden wins New Mexico primary…
Biden wins Pennsylvania primary…
…
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has been defeated in the Republican primary in Iowa’s fourth congressional district, according to Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report….

Thanks DSD….
Good Riddance Steve King.
It’s about time.
Good news for Democrats too out of New Mexico.
Valerie Plame, a purveyor or anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, was defeated and will not serve in Congress..
People ARE cleaning up the dirt ALREADY…
More sweeping should be coming in November…
Great news out of both states! Honestly as odious as Steve King is I’m pretty sure the most vile things he’s said were before the 2018 election, which he narrowly won. A good sign that even in hard right districts Trumpism is wearing thin.
New Mexico could be the first state to be represented by all women of color thanks to Plame’s defeat by a Latina Democrat.
Yes…..
I AM hopeful the 2018 wave is still out therein rolling towards sweeping the GOP’s….
Good?
No…..
Just GTF out….
The taxpayers don’t need to be paying ur salary…
