On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds won Florida's Republican gubernatorial primary with 48.7% of the vote, while former Rep. David Jolly secured the Democratic nomination with 61.6% support.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis reached his term limit after serving since 2019, triggering an open race that drew 11 Republicans and six Democrats to the primary ballot.
Alaska voters participated in primary elections on Tuesday to select candidates for U.S. Senate and the at-large U.S. House District, where 16 and 15 candidates respectively competed for general election spots.
Early results in Alaska's open gubernatorial race show two Democrats leading a crowded field that includes 12 Republicans, though thousands of ballots remain uncounted.
Election officials expect to release additional ballot counts on August 25 and August 28, with final certification of primary results scheduled for August 31, 2026.
