Aisha Wahab, a Democratic state senator in California, will fill out the term of Eric Swalwell, who resigned from the House amid accusations of sexual misconduct.

An early glimpse of a pivotal Senate race, heated primaries on a newly redrawn congressional map, and a special election to replace Eric Swalwell will be in the spotlight on Tuesday.
Senator Dan S. Sullivan and former Representative Mary Peltola are both widely expected to advance in Alaska’s Senate primary, but their vote shares will be closely watched as a reflection of who’s ahead going into the general election.
Two Democrats are in a runoff to replace Eric Swalwell, who resigned from Congress in April. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is spending heavily against a progressive candidate.
