US primaries test Trump’s sway, Democratic divides

Voters in five US states head to the polls in a key round of midterm primaries, with contests that will help shape control of Congress and test Donald Trump’s influence over Republicans. Kansas’s open governor race and Missouri’s rematch between Wesley Bell and Cori Bush highlight intraparty fights, while a Democratic primary in Kansas’s 3rd District pits progressive challenger Sarah Preu against incumbent Sharice Davids. Results may signal the political landscape ahead of November.
