But first: Now that Maryland’s primaries are over — NBC News on Friday projected Wes Moore the winner in the Democratic race for governor — we now turn to the three big primary days left on the 2022 calendar.

On Aug. 2, we’ll see primaries in:

Arizona (featuring Trump-backed Kari Lake vs. Karrin Taylor Robson in Arizona Governor, plus the Trump-backed Blake Masters vs. Jim Lamon and Mark Brnovich in Arizona Senate).

Michigan (the GOP race to take on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, as well as the Democratic member-vs.-member race in Michigan-11, and the Trump-backed primary against GOP Rep. Peter Meijer in Michigan-03).

Missouri (spotlighting the crowded field of Republicans running for Senate).

Washington (where two GOP House members who voted for Trump’s impeachment — Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse — are receiving Trump-backed challenges). Aug. 2 is also the date of that constitutional amendment contest on abortion in Kansas. On Aug. 9, we’ll get:

The Democratic race in Wisconsin for the right to challenge Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. The GOP contest in Wisconsin to challenge Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

Intraparty clashes in Connecticut, Minnesota and Vermont.

And on Aug. 16, we’ll see:

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary in Wyoming.

GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s primary in Alaska; Ranked-choice special general election for Alaska’s at-large congressional (where Sarah Palin and Nick Begich III are running).

Of course, those aren’t the only states with primaries — Tennessee goes on Aug. 4; Florida and New York (congressional) go on Aug. 23; and New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island go in September.

But they’re the big ones.

You can always tell when something's REALLY important to the Ruling Oligarchy - the article has more than one author.

This one has FIVE, including Chuck Todd.

Chick Todd is a girly man.

Murkowski will be on the ballot in November no matter what. 2nd chance. Am I right?

Is Liz definitely a goner after the primary?

Murkowski will be on the ballot in November no matter what. 2nd chance. Am I right? Is Liz definitely a goner after the primary?

Yeah, Murky will make it through thanks to rank choice voting, but I'm thinking she'll lose the general because RINO voters are becoming as rare as rhinos, and there aren't enough Democrats to save her.

Ditto for Lizard, but on steroids. This is why Lizard is portraying herself as a martyr and doubling down on stupid. She is auditioning for a seat at the Sunday morning talk show round-table as the "republican." Murky is eyeing that as well. Remember, she voted to confirm the diversity SCOTUS pick who couldn't define what a woman is under questioning.

[FLT-bird]

They’re DESPERATE to save their RINOs. They know they’ve been exposed and are on the chopping block now as a result.

[NautiNurse]

We'll know soon enough about Liz. Sounds like Liz may be retired to the family ranch.

Murkowski is too entrenched in the D.C. scene. Doesn't Alaska take the top four candidates in a "Pick Four" primary? If so, she'll be on the ballot in Nov.

Chuck the idiot needed the other 4 lackeys to help pull his head out of his butt 🤪

Posting research on House primaries.

AZ#4: Tanya Wheeless is leader vs. 4 others

It’s a 2-person race, but no polls

WA#3: pro-impeachment Beutler (R) being challenged by Kent in 9-way jungle primary
Beutler: raised 550k, $1m on hand
Kent: raised 300k, 550k on hand

Very likely that Beutler makes the general election ballot

MI#3: Gibbs fighting uphill vs. Meijer

Gibbs raised 165k in quarter, spent it, has 125k on hand

Meijer raised 600k, spent it, has $1.4M on hand. Outrageous

[campaignPete R-CT]

MI#8: Junge is favored over Seely & Miller

[campaignPete R-CT]

TN#5: “Harwell, She’s an Establishment RINO phony of epic proportions. The only choice for Conservatives is Andy Ogles.”

Harwell: raised 400k, spent 300k, 400k on hand
Ogles: raised 240k, candidate loan 320k, $500k cash on hand

I will look to see if any other candidates raised money

[campaignPete R-CT]

More on TN#5 which is on Thursday Aug 4th.

Winstead
Raised $400k in quarter, spent $750k, $800k cash on hand which is largely his loan

Wow

Robby Starbuck spent $200k on his write-in campaign.

Looks like a 3-way race, at most

[Impy]

What do you think of Winstead, DJ?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Huge “aw-shucks” phony in the vein of Lamar! Alexander. The guy’s record was supporting and giving money to Demonrats. It’s curious he wasn’t disqualified by the state party as a candidate on that alone.
