Story summary

In primary elections held in Florida, Alaska, and Wyoming on Tuesday, several key races were decided that will determine the candidates who will run in the general election in November.

In Florida's governor's race, Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly won their respective primaries. Donalds, a 47-year-old politician endorsed by President Trump, would become Florida's first Black governor if elected in November. Jolly, a 53-year-old former Republican who joined the Democratic party last year, previously ran for Congress.

In the Senate race, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member and state Rep. Angie Nixon scored a surprise victory over retired Air Force Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a prominent critic of Trump. Nixon's win sets up a potential upset in the general election against Republican incumbent Senator Ashley Moody.

In another key race, embattled Republican Rep. Cory Mills lost his primary to former TV news anchor and NFL sideline reporter Ryan Elijah. Mills was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee and the Justice Department, which may have contributed to his loss.

The results of these primaries will determine whether Republicans maintain control of Congress or Democrats take over.
