The Georgia primary races for U.S. Senate and governor have already been called. Herschel Walker has won the GOP Senate primary and will face off against Democrat incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. Stacey Abrams, who ran unopposed, has won the Democrat gubernatorial primary and will face incumbent Governor Brian Kemp.

In the Pennsylvania Republican primary for the Senate, most of the attention has gone to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has been endorsed by Donald Trump. But another candidate is rapidly approaching from behind. Kathy Barnette is a conservative military veteran who has worked as a political commentator and her campaign is catching fire at just the right time to potentially surprise everyone.

Prestigious Georgetown Day School (GDS) was in the spotlight last week, as Senators Ted Cruz (R-Tex) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) questioned Judge Ketanji Brown's Jackson's views on CRT-based instruction at the school. Jackson has been a trustee since 2019 at GDS, where tuition is $40,000 a year or higher. The school is a longstanding member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). The judge testified in support of the school, but also insisted that "I do not believe that any child should be made to feel as though they're racist or though they are not valued, or though they are less than, that they are victims, that they are oppressors. I don't believe in any of that."

Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) suffered a stroke this week and is expected to make a full recovery, but the news of his condition sent a wave of panic through the Democratic party. This was a reminder that they are just one vote away from losing their majority.
