The 2020 primary calendar will soon wrap up. Four East Coast states remain; all will have their contests in the first half of September. There is also a GOP runoff in Oklahoma next Tuesday. In terms of a highly competitive general election, that runoff is the only relevant race remaining.
There are three contests of interest in Massachusetts on September 1. All are safely Democratic seats, so winning the primary is the hard part.
