Republicans vying for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination are adamant that the dynamics in the primary are poised to change in the coming months, even as former President Trump builds on his sizable lead in the polls amid various legal problems.

Tuesday saw a number of key races in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Florida, which underscored former President Trump’s grip on the Republican base and Democrats’ relative strength in suburban areas, among other storylines.

In one of the night’s marquee races, Trump’s endorsed candidate in the Kentucky GOP gubernatorial primary, Daniel Cameron, prevailed against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s pick, former U.N.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) officially launched his bid for the Senate on Thursday, making him the second entrant in the Democratic battle to potentially replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced he is entering the fray for the still-filled Senate seat occupied by Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

Schiff, whom Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently removed from his post on the powerful Intelligence Committee, is the second Democrat to announce they are running for the safe California seat. Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) started the battle for the seat when she launched her campaign last week.

The last election couldn’t have gone any worse for Pennsylvania Republicans: the top of their ticket—Senate candidate Mehmet Oz and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano—wiped out spectacularly, casting this swing state in a definitively blue hue.
