Tuesday's Florida and Alaska primaries produced contrasting Senate-race results: Angie Nixon defeated Alex Vindman in Florida, while Mary Peltola outpolled incumbent Dan Sullivan in Alaska. The article also describes mixed results for Trump-endorsed candidates and further Republican strength in Florida.
In Florida, Angie Nixon defeated Alex Vindman in the Democratic Senate primary. The article says the result could make it harder for Democrats to defeat incumbent Ashley Moody in November, while noting that centrist candidates Jared Moskowitz and Byron Donalds also had strong results in their contests. Florida's statewide primary returns and a new congressional map were presented as evidence of Republican strength.
In Alaska, Mary Peltola received more votes than incumbent Dan Sullivan in the nonpartisan Senate primary, and the two were set to face off in November. The article also reports that President Trump’s endorsements had mixed results, and that he voted by mail despite his stated opposition to mail-in ballots.
