Bob Onder, endorsed by former President Trump, clinched the Republican nomination, making him a likely contender for victory in November. Kansas's 2nd District saw former state Attorney General Derek Schmidt secure his place on the ballot, with expectations of winning in this solidly Republican area. However, he faces a challenging race against Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids. In Michigan's 10th District, Carl Marlinga, the 2022 Democratic nominee, won his primary, setting up a rematch against Republican Rep. John James in a competitive light-red district. In Washington, the governor's race is shaping up to be a contest between Democratic Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Republican former Rep. Dave Reichert, with veterans advocate Tiffany Smiley trailing in third. In Washington's 6th District, Democratic state Sen. Emily Randall leads the primary with 33 percent, closely followed by Republican state Sen. Drew MacEwen at 31 percent. The outcome in Washington's 5th District remains uncertain, with Republican Michael Baumgartner projected to advance, while the second spot is still contested.
