Voters cast ballots Tuesday night for primaries in West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Here are the races dominating headlines:
In West Virginia, controversial GOP candidate Don Blankenship didn't perform well in the Republican primary for Senate. The former coal CEO came in third, with the state's attorney general, Patrick Morrisey, winning the race. Morrisey will challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin.
Three Republican candidates vied for a chance to challenge Democrat Joe Donnelly for his Senate seat representing Indiana. Mike Braun, a businessman and former state lawmaker, beat out two sitting House representatives.
The race for Ohio's governor will be between Democrat Richard Cordray and Republican Mike DeWine. Those two have run against each other before.
And in North Carolina, there are several primaries for House seats. So far, Democrats Linda Coleman, Dan McCready and Kathy Manning have won their respective races.
