2026 election results

Tuesday's elections

Updates from AP’s Decision Team

President Donald Trump has endorsed a number of GOP primary challengers in an attempt to cull his party of politicians whom he’s deemed insufficiently loyal. Most of his picks so far have been successful, knocking off incumbents in Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas.
Redistricting has taken center stage in this year's primary elections and it's playing out at the ballot box, in state legislatures and federal courts across the country. The U.S. Supreme Court knocked down a component of the Voting Rights Act that protected minority representation in Congress, opening a path to more redistricting that could favor Republicans.
The Ohio governor and U.S. Senate races are shaping up to be quite expensive as Democrats look to flip those seats in November. Vivek Ramaswamy, the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee for governor, has already raised millions of dollars in his race against Democrat Amy Acton. The Senate Leadership Fund, a Republican PAC, has pledged $79 million to help GOP incumbent Sen. Jon Husted defeat former Sen. Sherrod Brown.
