Five primary races to watch on Tuesday
By Julia Manchester and Max Greenwood - 08/04/20 06:00 AM EDT
Congressional candidates are gearing up for primaries on Tuesday that will play a key role in November’s battle for the Senate, while others determine whether some House Democrats are too progressive or not progressive enough.
In Michigan, first-term lawmaker Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D), a member of the so-called “Squad,†is looking to defend her seat against a strong challenge from former Rep. Brenda Jones (D-Mich.), who defeated Tlaib in a special election two years ago.
In Kansas, Republicans are trying to prevent former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach from running under the party's banner in November’s Senate race, instead throwing their support behind Rep. Roger Marshall (R).
Three other key contests will help gauge the sentiment of each party’s voters as November draws near.
