Eight states hold primary elections tonight, but all eyes will be on California, where Democrats could get shut out in key House races in the Golden State because of California’s top-two jungle primary system.
Alabama, New Jersey, Iowa, Mississippi, New Mexico, Montana, and South Dakota will also hold primaries.
Breitbart’s Sean Moran is on the ground in the Big Sky state, covering the GOP Senate primary. Moran will be sending in updates from Matt Rosendale’s campaign headquarters.
Read Breitbart California’s Joel Pollak’s preview of the most important California House primaries here.
Stay tuned to Breitbart News for live updates of all of the key results. All times eastern.
