Tuesday's primaries, in many ways, upended expectations. In Kansas, voters rejected a proposed amendment that would have opened the door for state lawmakers ...

We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter. On Monday, Trump endorsed an unspecified “ERIC,” prompting both Greitens and Schmitt to claim that they had the former president’s support. Of course, there were at least a couple bright spots for the Democratic Party’s left flank. But in Washington State, two of those House Republicans, Herrera Beutler and Newhouse, appear likely to survive another day. Wade in June. The result: They rejected a proposed amendment that would have paved the way for the Republican-led state legislature to ban the procedure. Four have opted not to run for reelection, while one other has already been ousted in a primary. Greitens had hoped that a possible endorsement from former President Donald Trump might help push him across the finish line in the primary. But the sound rejection of the so-called “Value Them Both” amendment — and the stunningly high turnout for a midterm election primary — was a significant victory for abortion rights advocates and an early sign of the political backlash against the Supreme Court’s decision to do away with the precedent set by Roe v. In Arizona, Trump-endorsed former local TV anchor Kari Lake is trailing Republican Karrin Taylor Robson in the state’s GOP gubernatorial primary. Recent polling from the Kansas City-based firm Co/efficient showed that 47 percent of Kansans planned to vote in favor of the proposed amendment, compared to 43 percent who said they would vote no. One group, Show Me Values PAC, spent heavily in the final weeks before the Tuesday vote on advertising highlighting allegations of domestic violence against Greitens. Meanwhile, in Arizona’s GOP gubernatorial primary, Republicans appear poised to break with former President Donald Trump and his candidate of choice.

Bowers testified in June about the pressure he faced to overturn the state's 2020 election results from former President Donald Trump and others. The state's open, non-partisan primary system in which the top two finishers regardless of party advance to November's general election made them more difficult targets for Trump and his supporters. While lawmakers in the state can still try to pass restrictive abortion laws, courts in Kansas have recognized a right to abortion under the state constitution. "They believe we should be able to make our own health care decisions, and they will vote accordingly, even in the face of misleading campaigns." And in Missouri, the political comeback of a former governor was shut down. Gibbs, meanwhile, backed Trump's lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election. In return, he was censured by his party, called "unfit to serve" -- and now has lost his primary for a state Senate seat. Democrats saw a tight race between Maricopa County recorder Adrian Fontes and state Rep. Reginald Bolding. But the early results were largely mail-in ballots. Wade and end the federal protection of abortion access. , the conservative commentator endorsed by Trump in the final days of the race and backed by large factions of the Michigan Republican establishment, won the state's GOP primary to take on Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, CNN projected. Polls have long shown that voters overwhelmingly support protecting abortions rights.

Mark Finchem, a prominent 2020 election denier and an Arizona state legislator, has won the Republican secretary of state primary, NBC News projects.

In a 2014 interview with local news outlet InMaricopa.com, Finchem identified himself as a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group whose founder was charged with seditious conspiracy and other counts in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection. The winner will go up against Democrat Kris Mayes in November. Attorney General Mark Brnovich ran for Senate but lost a primary against Blake Masters, NBC News projects. If elected, Finchem would, as the official who oversees the state office administering the 2024 presidential election, have the power to possibly affect the outcome of the race. He supported a partisan review of Maricopa County’s election results, even though the review reaffirmed Biden’s victory. State Rep. Shawnna Bolick, another 2020 election denier, had 19% of the vote, while businessman Beau Lane got 25%. Experts say that scenario could contribute to an even more robust effort to overturn a presidential election.

Masters, who beat out a crowded field of primary contenders, will face Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in November in one of the most closely watched races.

A surprise show of support for abortion in Kansas, and election deniers in Arizona have a good night.

Every seat in the House and a third of the seats in the 100-member Senate are up for election. Here’s a complete calendar of all the primaries in 2022. As of April 25, 46 of the 50 states had settled on the boundaries for 395 of 435 U.S. House districts. Republicans are already struggling with controversial Senate candidates in Georgia and Pennsylvania, which could cost them a chance at the Senate majority. Former president Donald Trump, who reportedly liked Greitens, dodged making a decision about whom to support, endorsing “ERIC” (no last name) the day of the primary. Whether those candidates win the general election in November, in a state that voted for Joe Biden, is another question. In Washington state, two House Republicans who voted for impeachment — Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse — had a better night. Three out of the 10 House Republicans who voted for impeachment faced pro-Trump challengers this week. He is a leading driver of a conspiracy theory that the election was stolen in Arizona’s second-largest county, Pima County. Republicans may have more problems in Kansas, where former secretary of state Kris Kobach won his party’s nomination for attorney general, giving him a second political life. Kelly was expected to be one of Democrats’ most vulnerable senators in 2022. On Tuesday, Kansas voters had a chance to strike down the state’s constitutional right to an abortion.

Blake Masters won the Republican primary for Senate in the crucial swing state of Arizona, setting up a showdown with Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in the ...

Kelly was not in Arizona to watch the results come in. The venture capitalist was projected to defeat businessman Jim Lamon and state Attorney General Mark Brnovich. Democrats have a 50-50 majority and Republicans need a net gain of one seat to seize control.

Abortion was on the ballot in Kansas, while Trump's influence was put to the test in swing state Arizona.

In 2019, Kansas' state Supreme Court ruled that the right to an abortion is protected in the state constitution's bill of rights. In Washington, the top two vote-getters will advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. In the race to take on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, CBS News projects Tudor Dixon will win the Republican nomination. Meanwhile, three of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are facing Trump-backed primary challengers. For his actions, the former president lashed out against him, calling the Speaker a " RINO coward." Arizona was one of the key battleground states that went for President Biden in 2020. CBS News projects Masters will win his race and advance to face Kelly. CBS News projects that David Farnsworth, Bowers' opponent, will defeat Bowers, with Farnsworth enjoying a sizeable lead as of Wednesday morning. In Arizona, Trump has rallied for his allies in the races for Senate, governor and secretary of state. Votes were cast Tuesday in five states, including some that were battlegrounds in 2020 — and will be again in 2024. Kansas voters voted to preserve abortion access Tuesday night, as abortion faced its first test at the ballot box since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. In Michigan, CBS News projects John Gibbs defeats incumbent Rep. Peter Meijer, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump. Trump had backed Gibbs in the primary, and Gibbs will now face Democratic nominee Hillary Scholten in the general election.

Arizona Republicans are deciding between a well-known former news anchor and a development attorney in the race for governor of a crucial battleground ...

His competition included Shawnna Bolick, a state lawmaker who has pushed for legislation allowing the Legislature to overturn the will of the voters and decide which candidate gets the state’s 11 electoral votes for president. Lamon signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won Arizona in 2020 and that he was one of the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. The Republican race for Arizona secretary of state was won by Mark Finchem, a Trump-backed candidate who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. As Arizona’s top elections official, Hobbs endeared herself to Democrats with an impassioned defense of the integrity of the 2020 election, a stance that has drawn death threats. She has also emphasized Lake’s prior support for Democrats, including a $350 contribution to the last Democratic president. She ran as a fierce critic of the mainstream media, which she says is unfair to Republicans, and other enemies of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement, including the late Sen. John McCain’s family. “Everyone wants to try to make this some kind of proxy for 2024,” said Christie, who ran for president in 2016. That could give Trump a better opportunity than in Georgia to influence the winner. Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. In Kansas, voters rejected a state constitutional amendment that would have allowed the Legislature to restrict or ban abortion. Defeats, however, might suggest openness in the party to a different path forward. Former President Donald Trump backed Kari Lake, who walked away from her nearly three-decade career in television news and embraced his lies about the 2020 election.

But the vote counting in one of Arizona's biggest races — the Republican nomination for governor — has not yet produced a victor. Republican candidates Kari ...

All of the candidates endorsed by Trump have won or are in front in Arizona's statewide races, with U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters leading the way.

He organized a November hearing where Rudy Giuliani and other Trump alliesaired conspiracy theories about the electionand was part of the Jan. 6 insurrection. There, he described Trump's pressure to overturn Joe Biden's win in Arizona. Both Lake and Finchem claimed without evidence in recent weeks that there had been fraud in the primary. - Finchem is a leading proponent of the falsehood that the 2020 election was rigged. - The governor, secretary of state and attorney general must certify the results of all statewide elections. The intrigue: All four of the Trump-backed statewide Republicans campaigned on the falsehood that the 2020 election was rigged.
