In Iowa, voters are casting ballots in primary elections that will set the stage for the general election later this year [165626]. The races are part of a broader wave of primaries across six states, including contests that could determine key candidates for Congress and state offices [152429].

The Democratic Party is seeing a surge of interest in fresh faces, with voters showing a “hunger for something new,” according to political observers [167832].
