SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — An incumbent district attorney pursuing an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin has fended off a Democratic challenger in New Mexico’s primary election to ensure her reelection. Democrats also ousted a state senator accused of sexual harassment, as voters on Tuesday picked their partisan favorites to reshape a Democratic-led Legislature, with all 112 seats up for election in November. Republicans who stoked Donald Trump’s failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election have won GOP nominations for state Senate. The primary results also held implications for Native American communities, the state’s oil production region and the #MeToo movement.
