[Webinar] 2026 Primaries: What the Results Mean for November

Primary elections are a critical test for both parties in 2026, as voters across the country choose nominees for governor, Congress, state legislatures and key local offices ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

As these elections wind to a close, join CQ Roll Call’s campaigns team for a deep dive into what lessons the primaries might teach us about what voters are thinking as November approaches.

These results could signal what the rest of President Donald Trump’s second term might look like: Will he maintain his slim majority in Congress or will he face a Democratic Congress anxious to make their opposition known? Will Trump’s MAGA faithful hold steady for the president? Will we see a new wave of progressive Democrats inspired by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani? And what messages will both parties emphasize as November approaches?

For policy and government affairs professionals, closely tracking these primaries is essential. 

Join us for a timely discussion unpacking what 2026’s primary results tell us so far—and how they could shape the midterm general elections this November.
