What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries

With about a third of the vote counted in California’s 5th, Rep. Tom McClintock is in good position with 43 percent. McClintock could have been vulnerable because he currently represents just 40 percent of the new district, but his closest GOP challenger, Fresno County Supervisor Nathan Magsig, is in third with just 12 percent. Democrat Michael Barkley is in second with 37 percent.

According to the Associated Press, incumbent California Attorney General Rob Bonta will make the general election. His opponent looks likely to be one of two Republicans, Nathan Hochman (currently at 17 percent) or Eric Early (14 percent).

In Montana’s 1st District, Zinke continues to narrowly lead Olszewski by a little less than 5 points, 43 percent to 39 percent, with 32 percent of the expected vote reporting. Still a long way to go in that race. But on the Democratic side, attorney Monica Tranel leads 66 percent to 27 percent over public health expert Cora Neumann, something of a surprise considering Neumann entered the home stretch of the race with around four times as much money in the bank.
