The biggest development is that the Democratic nominee will be chosen in the May 19 primary, with a June 19 runoff possible. Separately, a July 28 special election will fill the rest of David Scott’s term. The race is still open, with several Democrats competing in a heavily Democratic district. The nomination remains open and could be decided by a runoff, which keeps uncertainty elevated. The special election adds another layer of competition, but the primary still appears to be the main market driver.
