What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections

Well, after surviving a real scare in the June 7 primary, GOP Rep. Michael Guest has come back with a vengeance in the Republican runoff in Mississippi’s 3rd District. The AP just projected Guest will win, as he leads former Navy pilot Michael Cassidy by about 32 points right now.

ABC News reports that Casten is projected to win the Democratic primary in Illinois’s 6th District. I have to admit, I thought this would be a closer one! But Casten seems to have won handily.

In the GOP race in Oklahoma’s 2nd District, it’s quite possible no single GOP candidate will clear 15 percent. Oklahoma uses a runoff system, so a second round is guaranteed at this point. Currently, state Rep. Avery Frix leads the splintered field with just under 15 percent, followed by former state Sen. Josh Brecheen with 14 percent. Muskogee Police Chief Johnny Teehee is close behind with about 13 percent. About 86 percent of the expected vote as reported, so there’s enough left to change things.
