KENTUCKY

Rep. Madison Cawthorn is facing a challenge, supported by major state GOP figures. One Democratic House primary may have been reshaped by the abortion rights debate. And a key Senate race will be set.

A term-limited Gov. Kate Brown means there's an open race for governor. And Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader faces a progressive challenger.
