It is primary night in America once again with serious implications for November and beyond.

Voters in Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Maine casting ballots today.

Polls now closed in the last two.

South Carolina an hour ago, just now, Maine.

In South Carolina, crowded field Republicans is competing to succeed the state's outgoing governor.

The race, you'll recall, includes the Trump-backed lieutenant governor and most notably

Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who broke with the president over the Epstein files.

And Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is facing several primary

challengers. He's out to a comfortable lead, but with few precincts reporting. In the Democratic

race to challenge him, pediatrician Annie Andrews was leading in polls going into tonight, maintains

that lead right now. The one race drawing more attention than most, if not all the others,

tonight, is in Maine,

oyster former Graham Platner running to challenge longtime incumbent Republican Susan Collins this fall.

He's all but unopposed tonight.

Maine's governor, Janet Mills, suspended her campaign last month, but she remains on the ballot.

Interesting to see tonight how many votes she may draw in light of the scandal surrounding

Platterner over extramarital sexting, allegations of mistreatment by ex-girlfriends, a Nazi tattoo.

As you might imagine, Republicans have seized upon all three of those things, and Democrats

hoping to retake the Senate are split over whether to shun or embrace him, if only at a distance.

I don't think Democrats win by accepting a degraded state of affairs.

I think we win by elevating and governing from a redefined and more decent center.

Actually, I've been clearing candid since October of 2025 where I stand.
