Four states-Georgia, Kentucky, Idaho, and Oregon-hold primary contests on Tuesday, including several congressional showdowns that could shape key contests in the autumn battle for control of the House
Four states - Georgia, Kentucky, Idaho, and Oregon, hold primary contests on Tuesday, including several congressional showdowns that could shape key contests in the autumn battle for control of the House. And in a move that will give Republicans a bit of breathing room as they protect their fragile, razor-thin majority, voters in a California congressional district will choose a successor for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Willis has faced plenty of scrutiny for her handling of the sweeping racketeering case against Trump's alleged effort to overturn his narrow 2020 election loss to President Biden in Georgia. Nearly two months ago, a judge ruled that Willis could continue leading the prosecution of the case as long as Nathan Wade - a special prosecutor she appointed and had a romantic relationship with - resigned.
With no gubernatorial or Senate races on the ballot this year in Georgia, the state's 14 congressional districts will take top billing. Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a high-profile Trump ally, is running unopposed in the GOP primary in Georgia's 14th Congressional District, in the state's heavily conservative northwestern corner. Four Democrats are facing off in the race to take on Greene in November.
Fong and Boudreaux will face off again in November for a full two-year term. The race to watch in Kentucky is the Republican primary in the 4th Congressional District, where Rep. Thomas Massie - who backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the GOP presidential primary and pushed along with Greene to oust current House Speaker Mike Johnson - is facing a challenge from Trump supporter Eric Deters. Kentucky and Oregon will also hold presidential primaries on Tuesday.
