US midterm primaries 2026 live: results and updates as elections in Georgia and Oklahoma test Trump’s power

The 2026 US midterm primaries are shaping up to be a significant test of Donald Trump's influence, with his preferred candidates securing victories so far, including Burt Jones in Georgia. However, Trump's power is being challenged by self-funded rivals like Rick Jackson, who are making substantial spending. The outcomes in Georgia and Oklahoma are particularly crucial as they could signal broader shifts in the political landscape. This election cycle is also notable for Washington DC's mayoral race, marking the first new mayor in over a decade.
