Voters head to the polls in four states Tuesday for primaries that will set up key Senate races and settle other intraparty battles, including a race that features a Jan. 6 Capitol rioter and another featuring a police officer who battled the rioters that day. Maryland, West Virginia and Nebraska are holding primaries, and North Carolina is holding runoffs for races in which candidates didn’t win majorities of the vote in its March primaries.
Don Bacon of Nebraska, one of 17 Republicans representing districts Joe Biden won in 2020, faces businessman Dan Frei in the Omaha-based 2nd District. Frei has support from the state Republican Party, which didn’t endorse any members of the state’s congressional delegation and instead backed three primary challengers. Bacon and an allied super PAC funded by Ricketts have far outspent Frei in the race, and Bacon has expressed confidence that he’ll prevail Tuesday.
