Here's something to do while waiting on those results ...

When it comes to winning elections, is it really, "the economy, stupid?" Are "soccer moms" the quintessential swing voter? And does it matter which candidate you'd rather share a beer with? Every election cycle, cliches come easy. But are they right?

That's what we try to get to the bottom of in our new mini-series on the 538 Politics podcast, "Campaign Throwback." In the first installment we interrogate the role that the economy plays in electoral outcomes, in the second we ask how suburban women came to be viewed as swing voters and whether that is the case today. In our final installment, which will come out tomorrow morning, we look at the "beer question." Starting in the 2000s, pollsters and pundits began speculating that voters are drawn to the candidate they'd rather have a beer with. We go back and look at the data to try to determine if that's actually how Americans choose their presidents.

So while you wait for that last set of polls to close, take some time to catch up on the latest "Campaign Throwback" episodes in the podcast feed, and tune back in tomorrow morning for our final installment!

Perhaps the most interesting elections today in Idaho — where the first polls have just closed — are for the obscure position of precinct committeeman for the local GOP. As Monica has written, many state Republican parties are at war with themselves, and that’s the case in Idaho as well: Two traditionalist GOP groups, North Idaho Republicans and Gem State Conservatives, are trying to win as many precinct committeemen posts as possible in order to wrest control away from the party’s right wing, some of whom have ties to white nationalists.

It’s 10 p.m. Eastern, which means that polls are now closed in most of Idaho (the southern, most populous part) as well as in a sliver of eastern Oregon (however, the vast vast majority of Oregon won’t be done voting until 11 p.m. Eastern).

Though Trump has already clinched the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, many states have yet to vote in their party primary. Political observers have been closely watching Trump's margins in these states for any potential signs of weakness with his base ahead of the general election. While many who vote against Trump in the primary probably weren't going to vote for him in the general election anyway, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the presidential race in March, has routinely been garnering between 15 and 20 percent of the vote in primaries since then, a potential sign of dissatisfaction with Trump among some Republicans.

Whether or not you think that means trouble for Trump in November, he's not having that problem in Kentucky tonight: With 72 percent of the expected vote in, the former president is currently winning 85 percent of the vote, while Haley is at just 6 percent.
