Voters in Florida, Alaska, Wyoming and Hawaii head to the polls on Tuesday in a slate of primary elections that will shape November's midterm contests. In Florida, Byron Donalds leads the Republican gubernatorial primary with Donald Trump's endorsement, while David Jolly and Gwen Graham top Democratic fundraising. Ashley Moody, appointed to the U.S. Senate by Governor DeSantis in 2025, faces little Republican opposition in her bid for the seat vacated by Marco Rubio and polls at 50 percent against Democratic challengers Alexander Vindman and Angie Nixon. Trump cast his own ballot by mail in the Florida primaries.
In Alaska, Senator Dan Sullivan faces a same-name challenger, while former Representative Mary Peltola is running for the Senate. In Wyoming, Megan Degenfelder leads the Republican gubernatorial race with Trump's backing. Hawaii holds open primaries, with Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke under investigation for bribery.
