MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The power of an endorsement by former President Donald Trump in battleground Wisconsin will be tested in a race for an open congressional seat in Tuesday’s primary, when voters also will officially set the field for the state’s closely watched U.S. Senate race. Voters will choose a Democratic candidate to take on a first-term Republican who captured a western Wisconsin congressional district after a generation under Democratic control.

The election is the state’s first under new legislative maps more favorable to Democrats. Here is what to know:
