Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections
Of the 16 whose races have been called, 15 Trump endorsees are projected to win tonight. The remaining six endorsees whose races are still in play include Joe Kent and Loren Culp, running for Washington’s 3rd and 4th Districts, respectively. Currently, both are trailing, with each race is at about 50 percent reporting, and each candidate has roughly half the vote share.
Out in Arizona, AG candidate Blake Masters is leading with a third of the vote share amidst a crowded field, although over 40 percent of the votes have yet to be counted. Eli Crane, running for Congress in the state’s 2nd District, is in a similar boat, leading with one-third of the vote share at 50 percent reporting. Meanwhile, Trump’s choice for Arizona governor, Kari Lake, is trailing. Lastly, it’s coming down to the wire for John Gibbs in Michigan’s 3rd District. At present, he’s leading with a thin margin at 51.5 percent of the vote share and about 95 percent of the vote in.

We’ve got two calls from ABC News in Arizona’s 6th District. On the Democratic side, former state Sen. Kirsten Engel has won her party’s nomination over state Rep. Daniel Hernandez. On the GOP side, Juan Ciscomani, a former adviser to Gov. Doug Ducey, will be the nominee. It’s an open-seat race in an evenly divided district and will be closely watched in the fall.
Notably, James — a Republican — might be Michigan’s only Black U.S. representative next year. Rep. Brenda Lawrence is retiring, and Indian American state Rep. Shri Thanedar is leading the Democratic primary to replace her in Michigan’s 13th District.
