In Ohio's 13th District, former state Sen. Kevin Coughlin is projected to win, according to ABC News. With 27 percent of the expected vote reporting, Coughlin is way out ahead with 67 percent of the vote, putting him well ahead of Hudson City Councilor Chris Banweg, who has 26 percent. Coughlin had a slight fundraising edge over Banweg, but it wasn't evident coming into the election if one candidate had a clear upper hand. Turns out, Coughlin did. Now he'll face Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes in the purple seat that sits around Akron, south of Cleveland, one that Biden would have only carried by 3 percentage points in 2020.

As Cooper mentioned earlier, the Chicago tax reform measure supported by Mayor Johnson is currently behind: With 66 percent of the expected vote in, "no" leads 54 to 46 percent, according to the Associated Press. In another blow to Chicago-area progressives, their preferred candidate is also behind in the Cook County State's Attorney election. According to the Associated Press, progressive Clayton Harris III is losing 52 to 48 percent to moderate retired Judge Eileen O'Neill Burke, with 73 percent of the expected vote counted.

In Illinois's 6th District, ABC News reports that Manoor Ahmad is projected to lose against incumbent Sean Casten. With a little more than half of the expected vote in, she's gotten about 15 percent of the vote. Ahmad, who was born in Pakistan, had advocated for a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas War. She'd also endorsed Rep. Ro Khanna's "Poltiical Reform Resolution" and increased federal spending on immigration lawyers and judges as immigration reform. Meanwhile, Casten joined a resolution condeming the Oct. 7 attacks and declaring support for Israel at the beginning of the conflict, but has also called for humanitarian pauses and outlined the accountability he feels is necessary for a cease-fire.

Progressive activist Kina Collins and Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin are also projected to lose their bids challenging incumbent Danny Davis in Illinois's 7th District. With over 60 percent of the expected vote reporting, Davis has 52 percent of the vote to Conyears-Ervin's 21 percent and Collins's 19 percent. Davis is almost certain to hold his seat this fall in the safe blue district.

With 39 percent of the expected vote in, Merrin is slightly ahead in the 9th District with 45 percent of the vote so far, and Riedel is at 42 percent. As my colleagues chatted about earlier, the 9th may be one of the tests of Trump's strength when it comes to swaying voters in the primaries, at least. While his endorsement of Merrin came late in the game, part of the reason Merrin was recruited was because Riedel, the party's previous pick, had been caught being slightly critical of Trump. It's not just a question of whether Trump has remade the party in his image: It's also about whether it tolerates dissent.

It’s midnight Eastern, and all but one of our key races have been projected in Ohio and Illinois. Here’s a recap of where things stand in those races:

- Former President Donald Trump once again flexed his muscles in the Ohio Senate race, elevating former car salesman Bernie Moreno from a 2022 also-ran to the GOP nominee in one of the two top Senate races on the map, beating an uber-rich state senator and a two-time statewide officeholder in the process. But Moreno’s toughest path lies ahead, against well-funded incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. With 96 percent of the expected vote reporting, Moreno leads with 51 percent of the vote over state Sen. Matt Dolan’s 33 percent and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s 17 percent.

- In Ohio's 9th District, the conservative backed by Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, state Rep. Derek Merrin, is projected to win, and ready to take on Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in what could be a tough general election race. With 80 percent of the expected vote reporting, Merrin has won 52 percent of the vote, 18 percentage points ahead of his nearest competition.

- In Ohio’s 13th District, another potentially competitive Democratic-held seat, former state Sen. Kevin Coughlin advanced out of the GOP primary rather easily and will take on Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes in November. With 80 percent of the expected vote in, Coughlin leads with 65 percent of the vote so far over businessman Chris Banweg’s 28 percent and Richard Morckel’s 7 percent.

- The Republican Main Street Partnership notched a win against its rivals in the House Freedom Caucus in Ohio’s 6th District, where state Sen. Michael Rulli is projected to beat state Rep. Reggie Stoltzfus. Rulli currently leads by 9 points with 83 percent of the expected vote reporting in the regular primary, and by 8 points with 82 percent of the expected vote in the special election. Rulli will face a nominal challenge from Democrat Michael Kripchak on June 11 in the special election to replace Rep. Bill Johnson.

- In another safe GOP seat, Ohio’s 2nd District Republican primary went for business owner David Taylor, who won a crowded race that was tantamount to election in November. With 95 percent of the expected vote reporting, Taylor leads with 25 percent of the expected vote over 10 other challengers.

- Despite several challengers lining up to replace Democratic Rep. Danny Davis, the long-time incumbent is likely to hold onto his seat in Illinois’s 7th District. With 76 percent of the expected vote in, Davis leads with 53 percent of the vote so far. In second is Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin with 22 percent, followed by community organizer Kina Collins with 18 percent. Collins was seen as Davis’s primary competition tonight, and her underwhelming performance was part of a tough night for progressives in Chicago.
