News

AINews Summary

The biggest recent development is Evan Munsing suspending his campaign, leaving two Democrats in the primary. The district remains highly competitive, and recent reporting says Latino voters are still unsettled on the issues. That keeps the nomination and general-election picture fluid. Munsing’s exit narrows the field and may slightly clarify the nomination race. Broader district dynamics still look competitive, so uncertainty remains high.
