Associated Press: “No state will be more consequential in the success or failure of a prospective blue wave this fall.

At the same time, Republicans face the embarrassing prospect of failing to nominate any candidates in marquee races for the U.S. Senate and governor.”

Los Angeles Times: “Voters in California’s key House districts are poised Tuesday to determine match-ups that could make or break Democrats’ chances of taking back the House this fall.”
