Iowa Primary Election Results

U.S. Senate

Senator Charles E. Grassley, at 88 years old, is standing for re-election. It was once thought that his age could make him vulnerable and Democrats hoped that Representative Abby Finkenauer — a well-financed, youthful challenger — could be a threat. But Finkenauer lost her first House re-election bid in 2020. In the Senate primary, she must now get by Michael Franken, a retired Naval admiral. Most prognosticators anticipate an easy victory for Mr. Grassley this fall.

    Chesa Boudin concedes defeat. He tells his supporters at an outdoor bar on the edge of the San Francisco Bay: “This was never about one vote count. It was never about one election night party. This is a movement, not a moment in history.” The crowd chants: “Chesa! Chesa!”

    Lanhee Chen, a professor who served as the policy director for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential bid, is starting out with a lead in the controller’s race, in early returns. He has given Republicans hope for their first statewide victory since 2006.

    Numbers are just beginning to come in in California’s 22nd District, where Representative David Valadao — a Republican who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump — faces Republican challengers. The seat is expected to be highly competitive in the fall.

    With State Senator Zach Nunn’s G.O.P. primary victory in Iowa’s Third Congressional District, prognosticators quickly moved the seat, held by Representative Cindy Axne, a Democrat, from toss-up to leans Republican. Nunn was considered the strongest general election candidate in the Republican race.

    A Menendez political dynasty grows in New Jersey: Robert J. Menendez, the son of Senator Robert Menendez, won his primary in the heavily Democratic Eighth Congressional District. Representative Albio Sires, the incumbent, announced late last year he would not seek re-election.

    Representative Michelle Steel, a Republican running in a Southern California swing district, missed the votes concerning the certification of the 2020 election. As recently as this weekend, she was still declining to say how she would have voted, saying she did not know.

    Nick Corasaniti June 7, 2022

    There are 13 members of Congress who voted to overturn election results in 2020 on the ballot tonight. As we’ve seen in other states, those who claimed issues with the 2020 election have not raised any similar concerns about their own primaries in 2022, despite the rules being largely similar.

  • Nick Corasaniti
    Nick Corasaniti June 7, 2022

    There are multiple members of the “America First” slate of secretary of state candidates who continue to doubt the 2020 election on the ballot tonight. Audrey Trujillo is running unopposed in New Mexico, and Rachel Hamm is running in a crowded California top-two open primary.

  • Shawn Hubler
    Shawn Hubler June 7, 2022

    About only 30 percent of voters are expected to cast ballots in California’s primary, though the state maximizes voting access. Theories abound — voter fatigue, not enough drama. But Ace Smith, a veteran Democratic political consultant, thinks it’s simple: “No one knows there’s an election.”
