Welcome to the Insider live blog for the March 17 Primaries. We've got a number of great races tonight going coast to coast in the United States, but here are the ones we're really watching:
Pennsylvania's got an open Senate seat this cycle, and this swing state will be the site of the marquee race for 2022 to decide the fate of the Senate.
North Carolina is another massive Senate race, but the real action is going on in Rep. Madison Cawthorn's district, as the power in the local GOP wants to oust the controversial freshman and replace him with a less scandal-prone representative.
In Oregon, a Democratic gubernatorial primary might very well decide the presumed winner of the election in this deep blue state.
