Voters in five states head to the polls tonight.

There are presidential primary elections in Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky and Oregon, and a special election in California to replace former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and finish out his term.

Most of the drama will be down ballot, where the elections could give insight into the 2024 electorate’s views on everything from abortion to liberal politics on policing.

The Hill’s Julia Mueller has the full rundown here.

Here are a few races to watch:

GEORGIA

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), who is prosecuting Trump and other Republicans for interfering in the 2020 election in the state, faces a primary challenge from attorney Christian Wise Smith.

The embattled Willis has seen her prosecution of Trump sidetracked by hearings into her romantic involvement with the special prosecutor she hired on the case, Nathan Wade. Wade stepped aside in March after a judge ruled that one of them had to recuse themselves.

House Republicans, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), have been probing the matter. Willis has struck a combative tone, going on MSNBC last night to call Jordan a “clown.”

The Hill’s Caroline Vakil notes that Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee is also up for reelection.

Also in the Peach State, former Rep. John Barrow (D-Ga.) is seeking to oust Justice Andrew Pinson (R-Ga.), an appointee of Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.), on the state Supreme Court.

Barrow is gambling big on abortion politics, making abortion rights the centerpiece of his campaign.

The Hill’s Caroline Vakil has more on that race HERE. 

OREGON

The progressive Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, who won an election in 2020 amid the social justice protests roiling the country, will face voters amid criticism that his soft-on-crime policies have led to a spike in homicides, drug overdoses and general disorder in Portland. 

Schmidt faces a challenge from Nathan Vasquez, a prosecutor in Schmidt’s office who is running as an independent and has the backing of police groups.

In the deep blue 3rd District, three Democrats are running to replace retiring Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). These include former county commissioner Susheela Jayapal, who is the sister of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), city councilor Eddy Morales, and state Rep. Maxine Dexter.

CALIFORNIA

State Assembly Member Vince Fong (R) is the favorite over county sheriff Mike Boudreaux (R) to win the special election to replace McCarthy.

Fong has the backing of both Trump and McCarthy, and he handily defeated Boudreaux in a March special election.

The winner will finish out the year, and then the two men will square off again in November with a full term at stake.
