State representative Angie Nixon has won the Democratic nomination in Florida's US Senate race, defeating Alexander Vindman. This victory makes Nixon the first candidate aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to win a statewide primary, despite not being endorsed by the group.
In Alaska, Republican Senator Dan Sullivan secured his primary win, and former congresswoman Mary Peltola won the Democratic nomination. They are set to compete in a significant US Senate contest. Primary results showed Peltola leading Sullivan, with 48% of the vote compared to his 42.8%.
The primary elections also saw mixed results for candidates endorsed by Donald Trump. In Wyoming, state superintendent Megan Degenfelder, backed by Trump, lost the Republican gubernatorial primary to state senator Eric Barlow. Similarly, Congressman Cory Mills, another Trump endorsee, lost his primary in Florida to Ryan Elijah.
Progressive candidates experienced varied outcomes. While Angie Nixon secured a win, DSA-endorsed challenger Oliver Larkin was defeated by Democratic congressman Jared Moskowitz in south Florida.
