Election 2022: Primaries shift focus to control of US House

FILE - Senate Republican leader Sen. Thomas H Kean Jr., left, R- Westfield, NJ., answers a question as he stands in the Senate chamber of the New Jersey Statehouse Oct. 5, 2016, in Trenton, N.J. Kean Jr., the favorite in Tuesday, June to 7, 2022, six-way GOP primary to face Rep. Tom Malinowski, exemplifies the Republican message in these districts, fusing Democrats to Biden's unpopularity especially over decades-high cost of living prices.

Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., speaks as members of Congress share recollections of the Jan. 6 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol on the one-year anniversary of the attack on Jan. 6, 2022. During his reelection campaign, Malinowski is focused on gas prices eating into the wallets of commuters in his district. But he's also highlighting the potential that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which provided a nationwide right to an abortion.

Josh Harder, D-Calif., during ceremonial swearing-in on Capitol Hill in Washington, Jan. 3, 2019, during the opening session of the 116th Congress. Representing a district with workers who commute up to 90 miles to jobs near San Francisco, Harder said he plans to emphasize his push to repeal the federal gas tax during his reelection campaign.

Republicans need to gain only five seats to win control of the House in the fall. Few Democratic seats are more at risk than that of Axne, whose district stretches from Democratic-leaning Des Moines to GOP-friendly suburbs and staunchly conservative farmland in Iowa's southwest corner.
