* The year’s biggest primary day has arrived, and the marquee contest is California’s so-called jungle gubernatorial primary. Xavier Becerra, a former Democratic congressman who served as Joe Biden’s secretary of health and human services, appears well positioned to advance to the general election, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be joined by Tom Steyer, the billionaire and former 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful, or by Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host who enjoys Donald Trump’s endorsement.
Speaking of the president, Trump endorsed Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. this week, insisting the New Jersey congressman has been “working tirelessly,” which seemed like an odd thing to say about someone who hasn’t been seen on Capitol Hill since early March. Democratic voters in his district will choose the elusive incumbent’s general election rival today.
Among the many other contests on deck is a competitive Democratic Senate primary in Iowa that pits front-runner state Rep. Josh Turek against state Sen. Zach Wahls.
