The Senate race in Iowa is one of the most closely watched this year and the general election matchup is now set, with Democrats hoping for a gain. Iowa is also where President Donald Trump's endorsement streak ended when his pick for governor lost in the Republican primary on Tuesday. Democrats have settled on a nominee in a New Jersey congressional district that could decide which party controls the House after November's elections. But much of the focus on this round of voting has been on California, in races for governor and Los Angeles mayor. Primary elections were also held in Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota.

A federal judge has heard from voting rights groups and a coalition of two dozen states that want the courts to halt President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to create a federal voter list and limit who can receive a mail ballot, The plaintiffs argued in two lawsuits that Trump's order should be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules. The government argued the cases should be dismissed, arguing it was premature to worry about harm when the voter list had not yet been created. Trump's order is aimed at ensuring that only citizens vote, but instances of noncitizens casting ballots are extremely rare.

California's congressional primaries on Tuesday are a preliminary test of Democrats' best chance at countering Republican redistricting gains elsewhere this year. The party won voter approval last year to redraw the state's congressional map to create five more winnable U.S. House seats. But some Democrats now worry that they could be locked out of the November ballot in one of those districts, near San Diego. The reason: So many Democrats are running for the seat that they could split the vote and allow two Republicans to advance to the runoff. Other races elsewhere in the state are defined by the progressive-establishment split among Democrats.
