Jon M. Huntsman Jr., a Republican, has served as governor of Utah and ambassador to China and Russia. He’s run for president, too. He was ready to go back to being governor. No luck.Utah governor primary results ›

Now that we’re talking about Jon Huntsman Jr., I get to share my favorite Huntsman fact: His father, Jon Huntsman Sr., helped invent the plastic box that Big Macs used to be served in, the “clamshell.”
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
We will see if Huntsman redeemed himself by becoming ambassador to Russia for President Trump. (Yes. Russia.) Results are expected after midnight Eastern time.
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
Huntsman is something of a fixture in Utah but did not exactly help himself when he left the job of governor to become ambassador to China. For Barack Obama. Who is a Democrat.
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
Another thing we are watching tonight: Is Utah done with Jon Huntsman Jr. or can he become governor again? He’s trying.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
As our colleague Julie Davis notes, if Lauren Boebert holds on to win, it will be the third time in three weeks that a candidate endorsed by Trump has lost a primary.Colo. 3rd District primary results ›

I do wonder if McGrath would have still won in Kentucky had it largely been an in-person vote. Name ID from millions in advertising sure helped on those early mail-in ballots.Kentucky Senate primary results ›

Voters wanting candidates who they think are going to win? Reminds me of another big race.… Hmmm. Oh yeah. The Democratic presidential primary.
Isabella Grullón PazJune 30, 2020
As we’ve seen before, Democratic voters increasingly support the kinds of progressive policies that Romanoff and Booker ran on, but the candidate seen as more “electable” often wins.Read more ›
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
Hickenlooper and McGrath were both party-backed candidates who faced challenges from the left; still, both of them won. Voters might have seen them as stronger in November.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
Lauren Boebert, who has supported the false QAnon conspiracy theory, now has a big lead in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. In 2016, Trump won the district by 12 points.Colo. 3rd District primary results ›

Lauren Boebert, currently leading in CO-3, temporarily lost her restaurant’s food service license recently when she reopened it in defiance of a public health order.

Though his margin seems solid, Hickenlooper was the second party-backed candidate to face a stiff primary challenge in the last week, after Amy McGrath edged out a win in Kentucky.
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
That said, Republicans did not want this outcome. To watch in the coming days: whether the national party walks away from Colorado and puts its resources into other states.
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
Hickenlooper was the Democrat the party wanted to run against Gardner. But his problems in this primary — the missteps, the ethics investigation — gave the G.O.P. a glimmer of hope.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
Republicans are committed to defending Gardner, and Republican groups have combined for more than $12 million in future television reservations in Colorado.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
Cory Gardner’s seat in Colorado is one of the Democrats’ top targets — they view him as a vulnerable first-term senator in a state trending increasingly blue.

John Hickenlooper has won the Democratic Senate primary in Colorado. He’ll face Senator Cory Gardner in November, a race Democrats see as a big chance to pick up a Senate seat.Colorado Senate primary results ›
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
This primary got nasty. Romanoff aired an ad that jokingly asserted Hickenlooper has been taking “so many showers lately” to wash away part of his record.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
The backing of national Democrats was a windfall for Hickenlooper; the allied super PAC, Senate Majority PAC, has spent $8.3 million on TV ads defending him from G.O.P. attack ads.

The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm endorsed Hickenlooper last August, rankling other candidates who were already running and had announced before him, including Romanoff.Colorado Senate primary results ›

Tonight’s counting should be relatively smooth. Colorado and Utah are two of the five states that regularly conduct their elections almost entirely by mail.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
Other primaries have been marred by chaotic expansions of mail-in voting — New York City won’t begin counting absentee ballots from last week’s elections until next week.

In Oklahoma’s 5th District, Democrat Kendra Horn won her seat in 2018 by only one percentage point. Tonight she easily dispatched a primary challenger, Tom Guild.

In Colorado, turnout of registered Democrats was already 75%, which would be high for a general election in most states, let alone a primary. Republicans are currently at 52%.
Nick CorasanitiJune 30, 2020
Turnout in the Colorado primary was at 39% this afternoon, a number that will definitely increase. 1,370,184 ballots had been returned in the predominantly mail-in ballot state.

The Colorado seat is held by Cory Gardner, perhaps the most vulnerable Republican in the Senate, and so it’s a key target for Democrats who want to capture the Senate.
Adam NagourneyJune 30, 2020
Voting in Colorado closes at 7 p.m. Mountain time (that’s 9 for you East Coasters and 6 for me in L.A.). National Democrats have watched the Senate primary with more than a little agitation.

Other red states like Nebraska, Utah and Idaho have had success with ballot measures on Medicaid expansion, but the vote in Oklahoma comes as voter turnout is in question amid the pandemic.
Isabella Grullón PazJune 30, 2020
The potential expansion of Medicaid in Oklahoma, a deep-red state, would run counter to the Trump administration’s efforts to unravel the Affordable Care Act for years.
Isabella Grullón PazJune 30, 2020
Also on the ballot in Oklahoma is a measure to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Supporters petitioned to put it on the ballot after resistance from state Republicans.
