Alaska — The single House race in Alaska, to replace the late Don Young, features a possible comeback for 2008 vice presidential nominee and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who is hoping the political brand she pioneered will return her to office. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski is facing an intraparty challenge by Kelly Tshibaka, who was endorsed by Trump because of Murkowski's vote to convict him in his second impeachment trial. They are both likely to face off again in November after the nonpartisan primary, where the top four finishers of any party advance to the general election.
Aug. 23 — Florida, New York
Florida — Republican incumbent Senator Marco Rubio will likely face Representative Val Demings in a hotly contested election in November. The governorship is also on the ballot but incumbent Republican Ron DeSantis is not facing serious primary opposition.

Louisiana — The state holds a hybrid primary where all candidates are listed on the ballot for each seat.
