Voters in Florida and Arizona head to the polls for primary elections, while Oklahoma holds a Republican runoff for governor. Follow here for the latest.
Voters in Florida and Arizona are heading to the polls today to vote in their states’ primaries, while Oklahoma voters have a runoff election to pick the Republican nominee for governor.
What to watch in Arizona: If Democrats have any chance of taking back the Senate, they will have to win in Arizona. Republican Jeff Flake’s retirement opened the seat up, and both sides are already campaigning hard for it. While we’re expecting Rep. Kyrsten Sinema to be the Democratic nominee, Republicans will choose between Rep. Martha McSally, former Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former state Sen. Kelli Ward. Most polls close by 10 p.m. ET. Maricopa County may stay open later due to a voting machines snafu.
What to watch in Florida: Democrats could show some strength in Florida, where one Republican-held seat is already ranked as a toss-up by CNN. GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo is in danger of losing his seat composing the southern tip of the state. GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis is running for governor, and fellow GOP Rep. Dennis Ross is retiring. Polls close at 7 p.m. ET, or 8 p.m. ET if they are in Central Time.
What to watch in Oklahoma: Democrat Drew Edmondson already won his primary back in June. Tonight, former Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett and Tulsa businessman Kevin Stitt will face off in the Republican runoff. Polls close at 8 p.m. ET.
