The New York Times has a great guide on what to watch as primary returns come in this evening.
Of all the incumbents on the ballot across the nation Tuesday, of all the establishment figures whose careers are on the line in this midterm election year, there is no bigger target than Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic majority leader.
But will Mr. Reid’s prospects rise after Tuesday night?
That’s one of the questions that will be answered when the outcome of primary contests in 11 states — the biggest day so far this election season — provides a layer of clarity as to how Republicans and Democrats will be positioned in their battle for control of Congress over the next five months.
It’s a coast-to-coast series of primaries, with voters from South Carolina to California choosing which candidates will be on the general election ballot in November in campaigns for governor, House and Senate. Here is a state-by-state guidebook for some of the important races to watch.
