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.

The crowded race for California governor still has no clear front-runner with only days left for voters to decide which two candidates to advance to the general election in November. Fewer Democrats are voting early so far this year than usual. Some Democratic voters say they aren't impressed with the field, while others say they're fearful of two Republican candidates advancing and locking out Democrats. That's possible because the state's primary system allows the top two vote-getters to advance regardless of party. But it became less likely after one of the major Democrats dropped out and President Donald Trump endorsed one of the leading Republicans.
Win or lose, billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer will leave a mark in the history books in his bid to become California's next governor. He's running the most expensive political advertising campaign in the country this year. Data from ad tracker AdImpact shows Steyer has spent or booked over $195 million in ads for broadcast TV, cable and radio, with the tally still growing. The lavish spending has lifted the former hedge fund manager turned liberal activist into contention in the crowded race. But he's not breaking away from the field. Still, the cash advantage could give him an edge in the race's final days.
The leading candidates for California governor are trying to stand out from the crowded field as mail voting is underway. They are clashing on everything from a proposed tax on billionaires to state-funded healthcare for immigrants in the country illegally. Debate over the Trump administration's immigration raids is falling largely along party lines with Democrats rebuking them and Republicans saying the federal government must enforce immigration law. Candidates also sparred over the cost of living, taxes and universal health insurance in a two-hour debate on CNN. Voters have until June 2 to cast their ballots and decide which two candidates will advance to the general election in November.
