Party leaders face challenges with primary winners in competitive Senate races
What happened
Senate leadership in both parties is dealing with primary election outcomes that produced nominees they did not prefer in key competitive races. Voters who supported losing candidates in Michigan and Texas primaries are uncertain about backing their party's eventual nominees. The outcomes have implications for which party controls the Senate after the election.
Side by side
NBC News and Axios both lead with the electoral consequences, with NBC News focusing on voters "still wrestling with whether to support their party's nominee" and Axios framing it as "Senate control hinges on unwanted nominees" and describes leaders as "stuck" with their situations.
