## Resource

Nebraska and West Virginia hold primaries, offering a glimpse into the 2026 midterm battles. In Nebraskas second district, a crowded Democratic primary for an open seat, a prime pickup opportunity, highlights the states swing status. Meanwhile, Nebraskas Senate primary sees incumbent Republican Pete Ricketts face challenges, and West Virginias Governor Patrick Morrisey backs challengers in legislative races. Senator Shelley Moore Capito appears secure for her partys Senate nod, as both parties prepare for a tough midterm fight that could shift congressional control.
