A recount Thursday confirmed that state Sen. John McGuire defeated Rep. Bob Good (VA-05) in Virginia's June 18 primary. The final margin - 370 votes - was a reduction of only four from the state-certified result announced last month.
Good, in his 2nd term, headed the House Freedom Caucus. He didn't make too many friends during that short tenure. Per Politico, "His determination to block part of the GOP’s legislative agenda by any means necessary made him unpopular with his colleagues. He endorsed Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid even before the Florida governor had entered the race against Trump. Months later, he joined with seven other members last fall to defenestrate former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And then he needlessly inserted himself into the primaries of his Republican colleagues, spurring personal grievances that compelled them to return the favor."
McGuire will face Democrat Gloria Witt in the general election and is favored to be the next representative from this district in the south central part of the state.
Tennessee holds its primary Thursday, giving us a second primary day this week. The Arizona primary was Tuesday; two of the more interesting contests there remain uncalled as of the publication time of this article.
The remaining 16 states will hold their contests between next Tuesday and September 10.1 149 states will have held a primary. Louisiana has a unique system, with no nominees determined prior to a November 5 all-party primary. A candidate can win an election that day by getting a majority of the vote, otherwise there is a top two runoff.
Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The state is divided between the Eastern and Central Time Zones. As all polling places close simultaneously, locations observing Central Time close at 7:00 PM local time.
The most interesting contests look to be the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, and the GOP nomination fight in the 5th congressional district. All Tennessee Primary Results >>

Republican Primary
Sunday, July 28 marks 100 days until the November 5 presidential election.
We've created a Harris vs. Trump polling map. This will replace the Biden vs. Trump polling map that is no longer being updated.
The polling map does not consider forecasts of how the election will go in November. It is best thought of as an 'if the election was today' view of things.
From the New York Times, "President Biden on Sunday abruptly abandoned his campaign for a second term under intense pressure from fellow Democrats and threw his support to Vice President Kamala Harris to lead their party in a dramatic last-minute bid to stop former President Donald J. Trump from returning to the White House."
The article goes on to say "The president’s decision upended the race and set the stage for a raucous and unpredictable campaign unlike any in modern times, leaving Ms. Harris just 107 days to consolidate support from Democrats, establish herself as a credible national leader and prosecute the case against Mr. Trump."
As a result of this late change to the Democratic ticket, look for the following changes to 270toWin in the days ahead:
The passing of long-time Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (TX-18) on Friday created a new vacancy in the U.S. House of Representatives. Republicans now hold a 220-212 partisan advantage.
Jackson Lee was renominated for a 16th term in the state's March primary. Replacing her on the November ballot will fall to the Harris County Democratic Party's executive committee, who has until August 26 to nominate someone. It is up to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to decide whether there is a special election to complete the current term.
