Final polls close in New Hampshire as well. Some locations closed earlier in the state at 7 p.m. ET. Here are the key matches to watch as the results come in: In New Hampshire, the highest-profile race will be the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate seat. Don Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, is running against state Senate President Chuck Morse. Fearful that Bolduc could jeopardize their chances of unseating Hassan, some Republicans have poured money into the race to try to boost Morse. The winner will face Hasan, who is seeking a second term. Granite State Republicans in the 1st District will also choose their candidate to take on Rep. Chris Pappas, who is seeking a third term, in November. Leading candidates in the crowded primary include: Matt Mowers, who worked as a State Department adviser in former President Donald Trump’s administration; Karoline Leavitt, who was an assistant press secretary in the Trump administration. Gail Huff Brown, the wife of former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown. and state representative Tim Baxter. In Rhode Island, there’s a full slate of primaries, including the state’s open 2nd Congressional District. Democratic Rep. Jim Langevin opened up a competitive Democratic primary for the seat when he announced his retirement in January. Rhode Island Treasurer Seth Magaziner raised the most money in the race, but failed to clear the field. Magaziner faces opposition from several Democrats, including Sarah Morgenthau, who was director of the Peace Corps Response under former President Barack Obama. David Segal, who once served in the state legislature and had an unsuccessful run for Congress in 2010. and Joy Fox, who worked as communications director for Langevin and former Gov. Gina Raimondo. The winner will face Republican Allan Fung, who is unopposed, in November. In the Democratic gubernatorial primary, Gov. Dan McKee is seeking his first full term since being elevated from lieutenant governor last year after Gina Raimondo became President Joe Biden’s commerce secretary. McKee faces opposition from a handful of Democrats, including Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea and former CVS President Helena Foulkes. Businesswoman Ashley Kalus is the favorite to win the Republican primary. The last time a Republican won the governorship was in 2002. While Delaware will not hold congressional or gubernatorial primaries, the state will hold local primaries and some lower-profile statewide primaries.
