Here are the key House primaries to watch beyond California
It's
Election Day in New Jersey, Mississippi, South Dakota, Iowa, New Mexico, Montana and California, as the
2022 primary season picks back up in earnest following a one-week break for
Memorial Day.
None of the
Senate races on the ballot are expected to be competitive in November, so most of the focus will be on primaries for the
US House - with several that could be crucial to determining control of the chamber this fall.
All states - with the exception of
South Dakota, which retains its at-large district comprising the entire state - are holding elections under new congressional lines following redistricting after the
2020 census. While
California lost a seat in reapportionment - going
from 53 to 52 -
Montana gained a second seat after a gap of
30 years. There were no changes to the seat counts in
New Jersey (12),
Iowa (4), Mississippi (4), New Mexico (3) and South Dakota (1).
