Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina won the Republican primary contest for the state’s open governor seat, setting up a contest against Josh Stein, the state’s attorney general.

Donald J. Trump and President Biden emerged victorious from Super Tuesday, the biggest day in the primary season, with only Nikki Haley’s narrow victory in Vermont helping her avoid a shutout in the 15 Republican contests.

But the presidential candidates who have been hurtling toward a rematch weren’t the only ones on the ballot. Here are some of the other important races that were decided on Tuesday.

North Carolina

Two sharply contrasting candidates for governor emerged from the primaries in North Carolina: Josh Stein, a mild-mannered Democrat and the state’s attorney general, and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a firebrand Republican who has been a stalwart defender of Mr. Trump. Both men won with wide margins, and their November contest will be among the most closely watched races in the country.
Laurie Buckhout, a retired Army colonel, won the Republican primary for North Carolina’s First Congressional District, giving her the opportunity to face off against Representative Don Davis, the incumbent Democrat, in a highly competitive district. An analysis by the Cook Political Report had previously rated the race a tossup.

Alabama

A newly drawn Second Congressional District in Alabama is viewed as likely to favor a Democrat in the fall. Shomari Figures, a former Justice Department official, and Anthony Daniels, the House minority leader, advanced to a runoff for the Democratic primary, with Mr. Figures taking about 43 percent of the vote and Mr. Daniels getting about 22 percent. Dick Brewbaker, a former state senator, won the Republican primary for the seat.
Representative Barry Moore, a hard-right member of the House Freedom Caucus, narrowly defeated Representative Jerry Carl in the Republican primary for the First Congressional District. Mr. Moore, who represents the current Second Congressional District, ran for Mr. Carl’s seat after his district was redrawn to include more Black voters.
