Voters in Michigan and four other states head to the polls for primary elections that could determine the next U.S. House majority

Voters in Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Virginia, and Washington state are holding primary elections on Tuesday to select nominees for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House. These contests are critical as the administration announced the new congressional maps in several states, which may determine the next House majority in November. In Michigan, the marquee Democratic primary for the open U.S. Senate seat features a moderate representative and a progressive candidate. U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens faces Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, in a battle that highlights the party's internal debate over the U.S.-Israel relationship. The winner will face Republican incumbent Mike Rogers. The governor's race in Michigan also features a prominent Republican candidate, John James, who seeks the endorsement of President Trump. Meanwhile, in Missouri, a rematch between Wesley Bell and Cori Bush serves as a key Democratic primary. These primaries serve as a first look at the other party's enthusiasm and momentum heading into the general election.
