Minnesota voters head to polls Tuesday for House primary elections, with one open seat and multiple incumbents seeking reelection

Minnesota voters went to the polls Tuesday for a slate of U.S. House primary elections, according to The Hill’s coverage. The election day contests include incumbents seeking renomination in their districts and one open-seat race that will determine who will advance to the November general election.

The Hill reported that Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.), who represents Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, is not seeking reelection to the House this cycle because she is running for Senate. That creates the only open seat for House primaries this year in Minnesota, with the relevant race contesting who will replace Craig as the nominee from that district.

In addition to the open-seat contest, the House primaries Tuesday included multiple incumbents pursuing reelection nominations in their respective districts, according to the same report. The contests are part of a broader set of House primary elections scheduled for the day.

Polls were set to close at 9 p.m. EDT, The Hill said, with vote tallies and reporting expected to be updated afterward. The reporting described a live results stream from Decision Desk HQ, indicating that the initial numbers would be released progressively as precinct results come in.

The practical focus of Tuesday’s voting is who will be on the ballot in November for the next term in Congress. Because Craig is running for Senate, the 2nd District’s House seat nomination is the primary outcome tied directly to her departure from the House, while the other races will determine whether current members retain the nomination in their districts.

The timing and results cadence will affect when campaigns can move from primary outreach to general-election planning. The Hill’s account also framed the election as part of the regular primary cycle, with the open-seat race expected to finalize the House slate from Minnesota once Tuesday’s votes are counted.

As polls close at 9 p.m. EDT and results become available, the updated totals are expected to clarify which candidates will advance from each House district’s primary. Voters will then have a clearer view of the nominees for the fall ballot, including the candidate who will seek election to the House for Minnesota’s open seat tied to Craig’s Senate run.
