Who won, who lost and what is still undecided from Super Tuesday

Politics

Donald J. Trump and President Biden emerged victorious from Super Tuesday, the biggest day of the primary season, with only Nikki Haley’s narrow victory in Vermont helping her avoid a shutout in the 15 Republican contests.

But the presidential candidates headed for a rematch weren’t the only ones on the ballot. Here are some of the other key races that were decided on Tuesday.

North Carolina

The North Carolina primaries emerged two sharply contrasting candidates for governor: Josh Stein, a soft-spoken Democrat and the state’s attorney general, and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a Republican who has been a staunch defender of Trump. Both men won by wide margins, and their November race will be one of the most watched races in the country.
Laurie Buckhout, a retired Army colonel, won the Republican primary for North Carolina’s First Congressional District, giving her the chance to face Rep. Don Davis, the incumbent Democrat, in a highly competitive district. This is evident from an analysis of the Cook Political Report earlier rated the race as a toss-up.

Alabama

It is believed that a newly drawn Second Congressional District in Alabama will likely favor a Democrat in the fall. Shomari Figures, a former Justice Department official, and Anthony Daniels, the House minority leader, advanced to the Democratic primary runoff, with Mr. Figures receiving about 43 percent of the vote and Mr. Daniels about 22 percent. Dick Brewbaker, a former state senator, won the Republican primary for the seat.
Rep. Barry Moore, a far-right member of the House Freedom Caucus, narrowly defeated Rep. Jerry Carl in the Republican primary for the First Congressional District. Mr. Moore, who represents what is now the Second Congressional District, ran for Mr. Carl’s seat after his district was redrawn to include more black voters.

California

Representative Adam Schiff, a longtime Democratic congressman, and Steve Garvey, a Republican political novice, advanced to the general election in the Senate race, securing two tickets from the “jungle” primaries for the seat that had been left open due to the death of Senator last year. Dianne Feinstein. In an electorate dominated by liberals, Mr. Schiff will have a significant advantage in November.
Three Democratic-leaning seats in the House remained open because their incumbents filed for the open Senate seat: the 12th District, represented by Barbara Lee; the 30th District, represented by Mr. Schiff; and the 47th District, represented by Katie Porter. Those races are still undecided.
Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s seat in the 20th District also remained open following his resignation from the House. Representative David Valadao, one of 10 Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted to impeach Mr. Trump in 2021, also faces serious challenges in a primary in the 22nd District. Both primaries are still undecided.

Texas

Rep. Colin Allred won the Democratic primary for Senate, emerging from a crowded field against Sen. Ted Cruz, the Republican who has held the seat since 2014. Mr. Allred, a civil rights lawyer, rose to prominence when he defeated an incumbent Republican. in 2018 to win his congressional seat in Dallas.
