On this page, we'll highlight some of the key races to watch, organized by office.

President

The final presidential nominating contests take place this week. This includes state-run primaries Tuesday in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota. There is also a Democratic primary in the District of Columbia. The calendar concludes with Democratic caucuses in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday.

While the races have long been settled, the presumptive nominees have still faced some headwinds in states where voters have certain other options. For President Joe Biden, his main opposition has materialized on the 'Uncommitted' line, which has been used to register a protest against the handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Uncommitted (or 'No Preference') is an option in three of the states.

On the Republican side, Nikki Haley has drawn double-digit support in many states, despite dropping out months ago.  This week, Haley is only on the ballot in New Mexico, although there is a No Preference option in Montana. These are the first primaries since Donald Trump was convicted in a New York courtroom as well as the first since Haley said she will vote for the former president in November. 

Overview and Live Results: Texas Primary Runoff Elections

For most elections, Texas requires a majority winner. In the March 5 statewide primary, no candidate crossed that threshold in 30 races that we track. This includes eight for the U.S. House and 22 for the Legislature, with 19 of those in the State House.

Runoffs Tuesday will determine party nominees.

On this page, we'll provide an overview and live results for four elections of particular interest. Visit 2024 Texas Primary Runoff Results to see them all.

Idaho Democratic Caucus Results

Idaho Democrats held their presidential nominating contest on Thursday. While designated a caucus, it was functionally a party-run primary.
