Incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell has defeated former Rep. Cori Bush in the Democratic primary for Missouri's 1st Congressional District
Haley Stevens is putting together a stronger-than-expected showing across rural and small-town Michigan. The race remains too close to call, but those margins are worth watching.
