The media is primarily focused on the Pennsylvania Republican US Senate primary….
But there are other primaries in other states….
Pennsylvania
The race for retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s seat has been dominated by a huge primary field that has been particularly contested on the GOP side.
But on Sunday, the focus was on the Democrats as Fetterman announced he was recovering from a stroke. The 52-year-old said he went to the hospital on Friday after not feeling well and would remain for a while for observation. He vowed to press forward despite the health setback, saying, “Our campaign isn’t slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday.”
Fetterman has led in polls and fundraising in a four-person field that includes U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.
For Republicans, the race looked for much of the campaign like a two-man contest between the Trump-endorsed Oz, best known as the host of daytime TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show, and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick….

Trump is trying to sway races for U.S. Senate and House in a state he won twice, but narrowly….
Kentucky
U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, the chair of the House Budget Committee and the only Democrat in Kentucky’s congressional delegation, is retiring, opening up his seat for the first time in 16 years….
Oregon
In liberal Oregon, the primary for governor is shaping up as a test between the moderate and progressive wings of the Democratic Party at a time of widespread frustration in the state over the COVID-19 pandemic, the homeless crisis, a lack of affordable housing and growing gun violence…
Idaho
Little, the Republican governor, is trying to survive a primary challenge from his lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, a far-right conservative who has been backed by Trump….

Primary season churns on this week with what might be the second-busiest primary day of the year. Five states are going to the polls: Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, but they pack a big punch in terms of competitive primary contests. Poll closing times are as follows (ET):
6p – Kentucky (east) || 7p – Kentucky (west) || 7:30p – North Carolina || 8p – Pennsylvania || 10p – Idaho (most) || 11p – Idaho (panhandle), Oregon (VBM only)….

Now McIntosh and Trump aren’t speaking, according to Trump advisers.
People who have spoken to Trump say he regularly rails about the Club for Growth and the organization being disloyal.
The alliance cracked open after they backed different contenders in the Ohio senate primary two weeks ago. And it has fractured further as the Club for Growth has doubled down by pumping millions into Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary to boost late-surging Kathy Barnette against Trump’s candidate, the physician and television personality Mehmet Oz — putting two of the most influential forces in the GOP, Trump and the Club for Growth, at odds….
Primary results will be posted here after about 9:30PM……NY Time…

In #NC11, state Sen. Chuck Edwards (R) leads Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R) 38%-27% in the early vote w/ a huge lead in Asheville. But we’re going to have to wait for EDay votes….

#NC11 update: Edwards (R) leads Cawthorn (R) 38%-27%, but Edwards’s best vote troves – the early votes in his Buncombe/Henderson/Transylvania state senate district – are entirely reporting.
So this thing is going to tighten. And, it’s probably not going to a runoff.….

Pennsylvania R strategist David Urban called Dem PA-GOV nominee Josh Shapiro “incredibly popular” and predicts he’d easily defeat Mastriano (if he wins GOP nomination) — on CNN.

It’s probably a matter of minutes until Mehmet Oz (R) takes a tiny lead over Dave McCormick (R). Razor-close. #PASEN

Breaking: with a big EDay batch from Bucks Co., Mehmet Oz (R) takes the lead over Dave McCormick (R) by 0.06% statewide.

McCormick just 1,000 votes ahead. Could be headed to a recount, unclear if lawsuits are filed and how long it takes for the GOP nominee to be settled. Both McCormick and Oz said they believed they were going to win when addressing supporters tonight https://cnn.com/election/2022/results/pennsylvania/primaries

I’ve seen enough. Gov. Brad Little (R) defeats Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin (R) in the #IDGOV GOP primary.

@Redistrict
We’re not going to find out the outcome of the #PASEN GOP primary tonight. Absent a Barnette win, that’s probably the best news John Fetterman (D) could ask for.
