Pennsylvania’s primary election, held on Tuesday, will determine the candidates for the November ballot in congressional and state races that could influence the national political landscape in 2024. The state’s closed primary system allows only registered Democrats and Republicans to vote. Key races to watch include the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate between Sen. Bob Casey and challenger David McCormick, and the Republican primary for U.S. House in the 12th Congressional District between Rep. Summer Lee and her challengers. Additionally, the race for Pennsylvania attorney general is fiercely contested, with multiple candidates from both parties vying for the position.
