WASHINGTON - A series of bruising May primary contests will test former president Donald Trump's grip on the Republican Party as voters weigh his preferred candidates ahead of November's midterm elections, starting Tuesday in Ohio.

"The results of the primaries will test whether the Republican base is still the Trump base," Mr Alexander Heffner, host of PBS's long-running The Open Mind and co-author of the forthcoming A Documentary History of the United States, told AFP. The former president's backing has nevertheless proved a huge boon for Mr Vance, who once called his new patron America's Hitler but moved from obscurity in the race to a five-point lead after successfully courting Trump's endorsement.

The stakes are high in Georgia in November, a state which voted Democrat last time around but could change the balance of power in the Senate if it swings back Republican, with broad implications for Mr Biden's presidency.and the increasingly bitter fight over voting rights.
