CNN
Republican primary voters in Colorado resoundingly rejected Donald Trump's brand of politics Tuesday, choosing more moderate nominees for key offices over a group of candidates that had embraced the former President's lies about election fraud.
In Illinois, however, GOP voters sided with Trump, choosing the conservative state senator he had endorsed as their nominee to take on Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker and picking Trump's preferred candidate in a down-state congressional contest.
Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Utah held primary elections Tuesday. Mississippi and South Carolina held runoff elections, while Nebraska held a special election to replace former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, which was won by Republican Mike Flood.
