Today is one of the most consequential primary days of the year, with nominating contests in five states — Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon and Pennsylvania — that will tell us a great deal about the direction of the two parties.
There are three major storylines that continue to dominate the 2022 primary season:
Donald Trump's grip on the GOP
Progressive challenges to Biden-like Democratic centrists
The rise of anti-democratic and extremist candidates
All three storylines collide in today’s most-watched state: Pennsylvania.
