North Dakota is also holding elections, though Republican U.S. Sen. John Hoeven doesn't face a serious challenger.
James Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at UT Austin explains why early polls indicate low voter turnout and overall interest in the 2022 Midterm Elections.
Primary contests in South Carolina, Nevada and Maine on Tuesday offered the latest test of the Donald Trump political brand. North Dakota also elections, though Republican U.S. Sen. John Hoeven didn’t face a serious challenger.. Both chambers of Congress and dozens of governorships and state offices are up for grabs, effectively putting the direction of the country at a crossroads. Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster won his party’s nomination for a second full term.
McMaster defeated Harrison Musselwhite, a trucker and former businessman who said he was running to allow open carry of guns, prevent any government vaccine mandates and eliminate state income taxes. He faces a Democratic challenger in November’s general election. McMaster mostly let his governing do his campaigning, reminding voters how the state’s economy is booming and how he tried to carefully tailor COVID-19 restrictions when the pandemic started.
Governors in South Carolina are limited to two four-year terms, but if McMaster wins the primary and November’s election, he will have the chance to serve an unprecedented 10 years in office. That’s because he automatically ascended to the role from his lieutenant governor seat in January 2017 when Nikki Haley resigned to take a job in then-President Donald Trump’s administration. McMaster served out Haley’s last two years before getting elected in his own right in 2018.
