What Went Down During The May 24 Primary Elections

Additionally, what does it say about Texas’s 28th District that two candidates who are so different from each other still appeal to large swaths of the electorate? Politically speaking, is the 28th a really unique place?

We might very well not get a call tonight in Texas’s 28th District given how close the margin is, but let’s talk more about the dynamics in that race. Alex, you’ve been tracking the race closely, and we’ve talked a lot about how this is an establishment vs. progressive showdown, but what other issues are playing out in the 28th District?

We are up to 37 percent of the expected vote in Alabama’s GOP primary for Senate, and Britt still leads with 45 percent to Brooks’s 29 percent, with Durant running in third with 24 percent. Now, Britt seems like a fairly safe bet to make the runoff, but her edge tonight might not be certain to produce a win in the likely runoff. Durant has hinted that he’ll endorse Brooks if it’s a runoff between Britt and Brooks, calling Britt’s campaign “corrupt.” That could help push many of Durant’s voters to Brooks and produce a competitive runoff. Still, with Britt this close to 50 percent, she seems like the odds-on the favorite to win. But there’s still a ways to go, of course.
