Mixed Results for Both Parties from Primaries Held in Five States

Former President Donald Trump's high-profile endorsements had mixed results on Tuesday night, in the broadest test of his appeal, and progressives appear to have had a strong showing, though some races had yet to be called early Wednesday morning, reports CBS News.
In one of the biggest upsets of the night, CBS News projects Chuck Edwards will win the primary for the 11th Congressional District, defeating incumbent Rep. Madison Cawthorn.

According to FiveThirtyEight, progressives came up short in several primaries yesterday, such as North Carolina’s 1st and 4th districts, but wins in Oregon’s 5th and Pennsylvania’s 12th would salvage the night for them.
At least 28 candidates who reject or question the results of the 2020 election won Republican primaries last night — most notably for Pennsylvania governor, an office that could have the power to overturn the 2024 presidential election, writes FiveThirtyEight.

In one of the most intensely covered races of the 2022 season, retiring Sen. Pat Toomey’s Senate seat is seen as a pickup opportunity for Democrats. The Democratic winner of that primary, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, had a procedure on Tuesday to implant a pacemaker after suffering a stroke last week.
The announcement that Fetterman would have the procedure came just hours before polls were set to close in Pennsylvania, where he has had a sizable lead in the polls to win the Democratic nomination in the state’s U.S. Senate primary, according to Politico.
News of Fetterman's stroke came too late to affect the outcome of the primary, but experts wonder what impact, if any, this may have on his campaign moving forward.
