Voters across Maine, Nevada, South Carolina and North Dakota head to the polls Tuesday for another day of primary elections in America, but much of the political world will be focused on Maine's high-stakes U.S. Senate contest. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The results are not in question. Neither Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins nor Democratic challenger Graham Platner is expected to lose their party's nomination. However, the race highlights campaign dynamics and party strategies.
Graham Platner, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, spoke to an overflow crowd outside a campaign event Sunday, June 7, 2026, in Portland, Maine. His candidacy reflects Democrats' push to unseat Collins.
In Nevada's 2nd congressional district, Republican candidates David Flippo and James Settelmeyer are competing. Flippo spoke at a campaign event in Genoa, Nev., on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, while Settelmeyer addressed a Nevada Builders Alliance event in Washoe Valley, Nev., on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
In South Carolina, U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., spoke at the South Carolina Democratic Party's Blue Palmetto Dinner on Friday, May 29, 2026, in Columbia, S.C.
The primary results could shape the general election in November. The Maine Senate race remains one of the most watched contests.
