Four states — Maine, Nevada, South Carolina and North Dakota — held primaries today, but all eyes were on Maine’s Democratic U.S.
Senate primary, won by Graham Platner.
Platner has been mired in scandal, including new reports of “toxic” behavior in past relationships.
His victory suggests the allegations were not enough to weaken his campaign against Republican Sen.
Susan Collins, despite Democrats’ concerns.
Republicans see a pickup opportunity in Maine’s 2nd District, where Democratic Rep.
Jared Golden is retiring.
In the gubernatorial race, several Democrats are vying to replace term-limited Gov.
Janet Mills, who is still on the ballot for the Senate Democratic primary.
South Carolina Republicans voted to advance Lt.
Gov.
Pamela Evette and state Attorney General Alan Wilson to the GOP runoff in the governor’s race.
President Donald Trump endorsed Evette over Rep.
Nancy Mace, who has criticized the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files.
As expected, Sen.
Lindsey Graham won the GOP nomination to retain his seat.
