5 things to know for June 3: Election night results, NBA Finals, shaky ceasefire, unruly passengers, ‘60 Minutes’
More shoppers are pausing in the grocery store to take a closer look at ingredient lists, especially since many products nowadays contain mysterious additives. A new poll suggests those concerns are widespread, with 77% of Republicans, Democrats and Independents now calling for large warning labels on ultraprocessed foods.
Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.
1️⃣ Election night results
A flurry of primary elections unfolded across six states on Tuesday, offering an early look at voter priorities ahead of November. Here’s the latest from some of the key races:
California: The contest to choose California’s next governor is beginning to narrow, with Republican businessman Steve Hilton and Democratic former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra leading early in Tuesday’s primary. The top two vote-getters will face off in November. In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass will advance to the November election, CNN projects. Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt was running in second place as of early today, but it’s too early to say whether he will join Bass on the ballot this fall.
Iowa: State Rep. Josh Turek will win the Democratic nomination for the US Senate, CNN projects, and will face US Rep. Ashley Hinson, who will win the GOP nomination. The result comes as President Donald Trump’s preferred candidate for governor, US Rep. Randy Feenstra, was defeated.
