Who won, who lost in other Super Tuesday races

Donald Trump and President Joe Biden emerged victorious from Super Tuesday, the biggest day in the primary season, with only Nikki Haley’s narrow victory in Vermont helping her avoid a shutout in the 15 Republican contests.

But the presidential candidates who have been hurtling toward a rematch weren’t the only ones on the ballot. Here are some of the other important races decided Tuesday.

North Carolina

Two sharply contrasting candidates for governor emerged from the primaries in North Carolina: Josh Stein, a mild-mannered Democrat and the state’s attorney general, and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a firebrand Republican who has been a stalwart defender of Trump. Both men won with wide margins, and their November contest will be among the most closely watched races in the country.

Laurie Buckhout, a retired Army colonel, won the Republican primary for North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, giving her the opportunity to face off against Rep. Don Davis, the incumbent Democrat, in a highly competitive district. An analysis by the Cook Political Report had previously rated the race a tossup.

Alabama

A newly drawn 2nd Congressional District in Alabama is viewed as likely to favor a Democrat in the fall. Shomari Figures, a former Justice Department official, and Anthony Daniels, the House minority leader, advanced to a runoff for the Democratic primary, with Figures taking about 43% of the vote and Daniels getting about 22%. Dick Brewbaker, a former state senator, won the Republican primary for the seat.

Rep. Barry Moore, a hard-right member of the House Freedom Caucus, narrowly defeated Rep. Jerry Carl in the Republican primary for the 1st Congressional District. Moore, who represents the current 2nd Congressional District, ran for Carl’s seat after his district was redrawn to include more Black voters.

California

Rep. Adam Schiff, the longtime Democratic congressman, and Steve Garvey, a Republican political novice, advanced to the general election in the Senate race, securing two tickets out of the “jungle” primary for the seat left open by the death last year of Sen. Dianne Feinstein. In an electorate dominated by liberals, Schiff will have a significant advantage in November.

Three Democratic-leaning House seats were left open because their incumbents had run for the open Senate seat: the 12th District, represented by Barbara Lee; the 30th District, represented by Schiff; and the 47th District, represented by Katie Porter. Those races are still undecided.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s seat in the 20th District also was left open by his resignation from the House. Rep. David Valadao, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in 2021, also faces serious challenges in a primary in the 22nd District. Both of those primaries are still undecided.

Texas

Rep. Colin Allred won the Democratic primary race for the Senate, emerging from a crowded field to face Sen. Ted Cruz, the Republican who has held the seat since 2014.

Candidates are competing in the Democratic primary in Texas’ 32nd Congressional District to replace Allred in north and eastern Dallas, but the race has yet to be called. The Republican primary also is undecided.

Rep. Tony Gonzales advanced to a runoff in the Republican primary for his seat to face Brandon Herrera, who runs a YouTube channel for firearms videos.
