Key takeaways from Tuesday's primaries: Warning signs for Trump, Biden; Moreno wins Ohio GOP Senate primary

President Biden and former President Donald Trump swept Tuesday’s uncontested primaries in Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Illinois and Kansas, adding hundreds of delegates to their respective tallies and continuing their unimpeded march to the summer conventions, where they will formally accept their parties’ nominations.

But this week’s contests weren’t entirely devoid of drama, especially with a pivotal U.S. Senate primary in Ohio. Here are some key takeaways from the latest round.

It’s no secret that significant numbers of Democrats and Republicans don’t want to nominate Biden and Trump (again). Even now, 21% of potential GOP primary voters prefer “someone else” over Trump, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — while a full 35% of their Democratic-leaning counterparts prefer someone else over Biden.

But will that resistance keep materializing at the ballot box? Or will it subside now that the contested phase of the 2024 primary season is petering out?

Does it really matter who wins the Repuke primary? I don't think so.
Sherrod Brown will be re-elected and so will Joe Biden.

Ohio Democrats will come through in November and get out the vote.
