Key Races to Watch in Tuesday's Primaries

President Trump isn't on the ballot in two Republican runoff votes in Georgia but he's playing a big role in both races. One will decide who challenges Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November, and the other choose a nominee for governor in a contest where both Trump and outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp are backing Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. The power of their endorsements in the race will be tested by billionaire Rick Jackson, who has spent around $100 million on his campaign, the AP reports.

• In the Senate runoff, Trump is behind US Rep. Mike Collins; Kemp is with former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, turning the race into a proxy fight rooted in their long-running feud over the 2020 election, when Kemp refused to back Trump's false claims of fraud, CNN reports. Collins leads heading into the runoff, with rural conservatives likely to decide it.

• In other races on Tuesday, Democrats in Washington, DC are using ranked-choice voting to pick a successor to three-term Mayor Muriel Bowser, with democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George and more centrist Kenyan McDuffie leading the pack in a city where the Democratic nominee is almost guaranteed to win, CNN reports.
• In a Senate primary runoff in Alabama, Republicans are weighing Trump-endorsed Rep. Barry Moore against Navy SEAL veteran Jared Hudson to succeed Sen. Tommy Tuberville, the Hill reports. Attorney Everett Weiss and business owner Dakarai Larriett are competing in the Democratic runoff.

• Oklahoma voters are sorting through crowded GOP fields for governor and Senate. Trump has endorsed Rep. Kevin Hern to replace former Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who is now leading Homeland Security.
• In a special election in California, voters in the San Francisco Bay Area are deciding who will serve the rest of former Rep. Eric Swalwell's term, CBS News reports. It could go to an August runoff if no candidate clears 50%. The highest-profile Democratic candidates in the heavily Democratic district, state Sen. Aisha Wahab and Bay Area Rapid Transit Director Melissa Hernandez, finished first and second in a primary earlier this month and will compete for a full term in November.
