Photograph: Jacob, Dad’s Gone Live/AP California: Bakersfield police respond to bomb threat as man barricades himself inside bank People urged to avoid downtown as man, reportedly with bomb strapped to body, inside bank with number of people A man barricaded himself inside a bank in the southern California city of Bakersfield with an unknown number of people, police said on Tuesday. The unidentified man had a bomb strapped to his body, according to Bakersfield Now . Police responding to a call of a bomb threat arrived at the scene at about 1pm at a bank in downtown Bakersfield, Sgt Eric Celedon of the Bakersfield police department told the ABC affiliate, 23ABC. “I’m not using the H word,” Celedon said, when asked whether the man had taken hostages. “However, there is an unidentified male subject in there with an unknown number of our community members and they’re refusing to come out at this point.” The city also issued evacuation orders in the area, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles . “Please stay out of the downtown area,” the Bakersfield police wrote on social media . “Road closures are in effect and will remain in effect until further notice.” A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson, Peter Kelley, said the bank was working with law enforcement and its “focus is on the safety of everyone involved”. He provided no other details. Several city buildings were placed on lockdown, including City Hall North, City Hall South, the Development Services Building, and Bakersfield police headquarters. About a dozen police cars were on scene along with one tactical vehicle and multiple emergency responders, according to media reports. Bakersfield, a city of about 380,000 residents, is the county seat of largely rural Kern county and is about 100 miles (160km) north-east of Los Angeles.

It's a somewhat different story in Los Angeles, where a reality television personality is running for mayor as the city prepares to host the Olympics. More primaries are being held on Tuesday as well. Democrats are banking on a rare chance to regain ground in Iowa, a rural state that has repeatedly eluded them in recent years. Republicans, meanwhile, are grappling with a New Jersey congressman whose unexplained absence could put their already slim majority at risk.

Here are some things to watch as voters in California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota cast ballots. Follow along with live results from the Associated Press: California Iowa Montana New Jersey New Mexico South Dakota California's low-wattage race for governor Ronald Reagan. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jerry Brown. Gavin Newsom. The governor's office in California typically attracts some of the highest-wattage names in politics, but not this year. READ MORE: California holds crowded primary with dozens of candidates to replace Newsom Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Alex Padilla took a pass on the race. And with Newsom barred from seeking a third term, the campaign to succeed him turned into a sprawling, often messy contest. In the final stretch, much of the attention has focused on Democrats Xavier Becerra, the former congressman and state attorney general who was also health secretary under President Joe Biden, and Tom Steyer, a billionaire known for his climate activism. Republican Steve Hilton is campaigning with President Donald Trump's endorsement. Under California's primary system, all candidates appear on a single ballot and the top two finishers advance to the November general election, regardless of party. The absence of a front-runner incentivized virtually anyone with political ambition and a modicum of organization to join the race, leaving Democrats worried that their candidates would divide the vote and ultimately be shut out of the fall campaign. But those fears have eased in the primary's closing weeks, with the party now expecting to secure at least one slot on the November ballot. LIVE RESULTS: California midterm primaries The results could offer insight about how voters are feeling in a state where Democrats have dominated statewide elections for two
