Here's a look at the results in some of the other races we were watching last night, with the projected winners per NBC's Decision Desk.
NV-GOV: With 79 percent of the vote in, Trump-backed Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo won the Republican primary with 38 percent of the vote. Lombardo will face Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in November's general election.
NV-SEN: Former state Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who also had Trump's endorsement, defeated Army veteran Sam Brown in the GOP primary, with 56 percent of the vote to Brown's 34 percent with 79 percent of precincts reporting. Laxalt will face Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.
SC-GOV: Former Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham won the gubernatorial primary with nearly 57 percent of the vote, besting state Rep. Mia McLeod, who was the next highest vote-getter with 31 percent. Cunningham will face GOP Gov. Henry McMaster.
NV Secretary of State: With 77 percent of the vote in, former Assemblyman Jim Marchant, an election denier, is the projected winner of the GOP primary, winning 38 percent of the vote. Democrat Cisco Aguilar, a former staffer for the late Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
NV-1: Democratic Rep. Dina Titus easily fended off businesswoman Amy Vilela, who was backed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Titus won 82 percent of the vote to Vilela's 18 percent, with 72 percent of the vote in, despite Vilela outspending Titus in the race. The Decision Desk has not yet called the GOP primary, so it's not clear who Titus will face in the fall.
NV-2: GOP Rep. Mark Amodei also defeated his primary challenger, perennial candidate Danny Tarkanian, thanks in part to some help from the Congressional Leadership Fund. With 62 percent of the vote in, Amodei was at 54 percent while Tarkanian was at 33 percent.
NV-3: GOP attorney April Becker will face Democratic Rep. Susie Lee in this competitive district, winning 65 percent of the vote with 83 percent of precincts reporting. Becker was backed by a slew of prominent Republicans like Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the state Republican Party, and former Ambassador Nikki Haley.
NV-4: It's still not clear who will face Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford in the fall, with Air Force veteran Sam Peters and Assemblywoman Annie Black with 48 and 41 percent of the vote respectively, with 88 percent of precincts reporting.
