By Ballotpedia's Congressional team

Tuesday night was a good one for incumbents, as none of them lost their primary battles. In Mississippi's Senate runoff, incumbent Thad Cochran defied recent runoff polls and defeated challenger Chris McDaniel to earn the Republican nomination. Rep. James Lankford defeated former Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon and five other Republican candidates in Oklahoma's special senate election to avoid a primary runoff election.

In the House, Curt Clawson (R) won the special election in Florida's 19th Congressional District to replace Rep. Trey Radel. New York's 13th Congressional District race remains uncalled as of this morning, but incumbent Charles Rangel is currently leading Adriano Espaillat by 3 percent and is likely to keep that lead and win the primary.

Full results for all U.S. Senate and House races are shown below.

Lankford also defeated Republican candidates Jason Weger, Kevin Crow, Randy Brogdon, Eric McCray and Andy Craig.

On June 26, 2012, tea party-backed candidate Jim Bridenstine upset John Sullivan, who was first elected in 2002, in the Republican primary.[11][12] The day of the primary, Sullivan said he had made a mistake by ignoring the primary challenge for too long. "I never had a race like this in all my life," he said.[13] Bridenstine's campaign and upset is similar to David Brat's recent primary upset of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Both were underfunded, little-known candidates, who were taken for granted as serious threats by powerful incumbents. Luckily for Bridenstine, he does not have to worry about being unseated in the 2014 elections. He did not face a primary challenger, and he will run unopposed in the general election.

After David Brat's shocking defeat of former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, incumbent Tom Cole, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, was asked if he thought he would find himself in a similar situation on election night. He said he did not see any similarities between the elections and added, "I hope I've done the kind of job that merits being re-elected. I think I've represented the views and values of the people in the district."[18] Republican voters in Cole’s district clearly approve of the job he has done in Congress. They overwhelmingly supported Cole’s bid for re-election in the primary. He defeated Anna Flatt, who said it would be a miracle if she beat Cole, in the Republican primary.[18] Bert Smith, who ran for the seat in 2012 and was defeated by Donna Marie Bebo, defeated Tae Si, whose family immigrated to the United States from Seoul, South Korea in 1986, in the Democratic primary.[14][19][20] Cole and Smith will face state representative Dennis Johnson, who is running as an Independent candidate, in the general election.

A dozen candidates fought for the seat left open by incumbent James Lankford, who is running in the special election for the Senate seat that is being vacated by Tom Coburn (R). None of the candidates running in the primary election received 50 percent of the votes cast, so four candidates will move on to a runoff primary election on August 26, 2014. Former state Senator Steve Russell and Commissioner of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Patrice Douglas will face off in the Republican runoff, and Tom Guild and state Sen. Al McAffrey will face off in the Democratic runoff.[14] The winners of the Republican and Democratic runoff elections will face Independent candidates Buddy Ray, Tom Boggs and Robert Murphy in the general election.
