Welcome to the Daily Briefing. Start with these reads:
Nicole Fallert<\/a><\/strong><\/em> here. I just want to be a globe-trotting chihuahua in a tiny bag<\/a>. We have the news to know on Wednesday, from primary results across the country to a growing roster of state school phone bans.
High-stakes primary races yesterday<\/a> kick off a busy month of primary races<\/a> to determine control of Congress, statehouses and even the fate of a big U.S. city.
Still waiting for California results:<\/strong> The top two spots for governor in the nation’s most populous state remain undetermined<\/a> early Wednesday. In the race for mayor in Los Angeles, incumbent Karen Bass advanced to a November runoff, with former reality TV star Spencer Pratt and City Councilmember Nithya Raman still battling for the second spot.
Other takeaways:<\/strong> A Trump-backed candidate lost Iowa’s Republican gubernatorial primary<\/a>. Former Secretary of the Interior\u00a0Deb Haaland\u00a0is also poised to make history<\/a> after winning the New Mexico Democratic gubernatorial primary. And Rebecca Bennett is projected to face off<\/a> in November against Republican Rep. Tom Kean, who\u00a0hasn’t been seen on Capitol Hill<\/a>\u00a0since early March, for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.
FIFA World Cup<\/span><\/strong>
The\u00a02026 World Cup\u00a0is now just days away<\/a>. Mexico and South Africa face off June 11 to kick off the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the\u00a0United States,\u00a0Mexico\u00a0and Canada.
Things to talk about<\/span><\/strong>
Time to clock in for your part-time job: Snuggling up on the couch at 6 p.m. PT\/9 p.m. ET<\/a> on weeknights to watch “Love Island.” There will be villa antics as\u00a0cast members<\/a>\u00a0couple up, break up and, sometimes,\u00a0leave the show after stirring up controversy<\/a>. And the show wants to keep the Season 8 weeks-long journey a good vibe<\/a>, asking fans to “keep it kind” as passions rise over America’s favorite couples. If you’ve got endless time, the UK version<\/a> just launched, too.
