Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections

Just checking in on the GOP race for AG nomination in Kansas. It’s still neck-and-neck, with the two front-runners alternating who is in the lead. Currently it’s Kobach, with 40 percent of the vote, but Warren is right behind with 39 percent.

This stat on turnout is quite something

Sarah, 10 House Republicans voted to impeach Trump. Of those, four decided to retire, in part because some attracted primary opponents whom Trump endorsed or because of redistricting — or both. Two of the six who are seeking reelection have already had their primaries. Of those, California Rep. David Valadao narrowly advanced in his top-two primary ahead of a very Trumpy (but not Trump-endorsed opponent), while South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice lost outright in his regular party primary, not even forcing it a runoff against a Trump-endorsed opponent. Meijer is one of three representatives who faced the voters today, with Washington Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse also on the docket. Meijer is locked in a very close primary fight, but it’s possible that Herrera Beutler and Newhouse might benefit from Washington’s top-two system, much as Valadao appears to have done. The other remaining impeachment vote is Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who trails in the polls and may be doomed in her regular party primary that takes place later this month.
