Florida is holding primary elections today that will help shape the upcoming midterm elections. In contrast to other primaries focused on Democratic party direction, Florida's contests feature moderate Democratic candidates Alex Vindman and David Jolly, who are favored to win nominations for the Senate and governor's races, respectively. This is notable as Florida has become a reliably Republican state in recent years. Meanwhile, Alaska is experiencing a unique primary where two Republican candidates with the same name, Dan Sullivan, are competing against each other. These elections are significant for determining control of Congress.
