What you need to know

• The primary season continued Tuesday, with five key states — Arizona, Michigan, Missouri, Washington and Kansas — kicking off a pivotal stretch of August votes to choose party nominees less than 100 days until the general election.
• Kansas voters have rejected an amendment to remove the right to an abortion from the state’s constitution, CNN projects. The state was the first to let voters weigh in on abortion since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
• In Missouri, Republican Eric Schmitt will be his party’s nominee for US Senate, CNN projects, defeating former Gov. Eric Greitens.
• In Michigan, CNN projects Republican Tudor Dixon, an election denier endorsed by former President Donald Trump, will face Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer in November. Incumbent Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Trump, will lose the GOP primary for his seat in Michigan’s 3rd District to Trump-backed John Gibbs.
• Trump-endorsed election deniers were also on the ballot in high-profile races in Arizona, including in the GOP Senate, governor and secretary of state contests. Meanwhile, two other Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are facing primary challengers in Washington. These races are still too early to call.
