New York: New York City Mayor\u00a0Zohran Mamdani\u00a0is\u00a0reshaping the city\u2019s congressional delegation\u00a0through a series of successful endorsements in Democratic primaries in districts 10, 13 and 7.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Maryland: All eight of the state\u2019s congressional districts held contested primaries. In a state that typically leans left (only one district is led by a Republican), the primaries often determine the general election winners. Gov.\u00a0Wes Moore\u00a0secured the Democratic nomination for a second term.<\/p>\n

South Carolina: State Attorney General Alan Wilson won the Republican nomination for governor after President\u00a0Donald Trump, who initially\u00a0endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette\u00a0for the job, said on Friday that either contender would be a good pick.<\/p>\n

Utah: Voters cast ballots to nominate congressional candidates using a\u00a0new map\u00a0that created a Democratic-friendly district in Salt Lake City. Ben McAdams, a former Utah congressman who has sought to shed his reputation as a moderate, won the Democratic primary in that redrawn district.<\/p>\n

Avila Chevalier says her victory vanquishes \u2018the politics of the past\u2019<\/h4>\n

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the first-time candidate who ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat in a Democratic primary, portrayed him as unresponsive to constituents\u2019 calls and out of touch with such key issues as housing affordability in the district in upper Manhattan and part of the Bronx.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we make it clear \u2014 the politics of the past ends today,\u201d the democratic socialist said at her victory party, adding that \u201cthe era of taking a check and cashing a check and calling it representation is over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cNo longer will we accept a politics that throws scraps at us and acts as if we should be grateful for them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s picks sweep New York City\u2019s congressional primaries<\/h4>\n

All three candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries, knocking off incumbents Dan Goldman in New York\u2019s 10th District and Adriano Espaillat in the 13th District and winning the Democratic nomination for the open seat in the 7th District.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Opposing views over Israel were at the center of the clash between incumbents and their Mamdani-backed challengers. Brad Landers, who ran against Mamdani in the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary, criticized AIPAC\u2019s support of Goldman and promised to sponsor legislation that would put restrictions on military aid to Israel.<\/p>\n

McAdams supporter says his campaign gave her hope<\/h4>\n

Donna Gunn says it\u2019s \u201cbeautiful\u201d to see former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams win and to have an opportunity to send a fierce ally for LGBTQ+ rights back to Washington.<\/p>\n

The longtime Special Olympics volunteer says she has been deterred from engaging in politics ever since Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election. But McAdams\u2019 victory in the Democratic primary for Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District has given her hope, Gunn says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so happy and so lucky to get Ben, who\u2019s going to stand up to that bully in the White House,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Democratic US Rep. April McClain Delaney advances in Maryland primary to defend her seat<\/h4>\n

McClain Delaney won her Democratic primary, fending off competitors in what became one of the state\u2019s most expensive races.<\/p>\n

Among her challengers was David Trone, the wealthy founder of Total Wine & More, who previously held the seat before stepping aside to make an unsuccessful Senate run in 2024. Trone lent some $25 million of his own money to his campaign.<\/p>\n

McClain Delaney represents the 6th District, which stretches from the westernmost part of the state to the Washington suburbs.<\/p>\n

She loaned her campaign more than $7 million.<\/p>\n

Boafo gives a special thanks to Hoyer, his former boss<\/h4>\n

\u201cY\u2019all, I gotta give a special thanks to my mentor, to my friend, Steny Hamilton Hoyer,\u201d Maryland state Del. Adrian Boafo said after winning the Democratic primary for Maryland\u2019s 5th District, which Hoyer has represented for decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been our Danish knight in shining armor, our rock,\u201d Boafo said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTonight, the Democratic voters of the 5th Congressional District decided that it\u2019s time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders. And it\u2019s with great humility that I accept that responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Valdez says democratic socialist victories in New York send a message<\/h4>\n

Speaking to supporters in Brooklyn after her Democratic primary victory, Claire Valdez said they hadn\u2019t just won an election.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe have declared that this movement is durable, that it is growing, and that it will not stop\u201d until working people are not just offered a seat at the table, but \u201crun the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

Valdez said that back when she was bagging groceries for work, \u201cI couldn\u2019t dream of running for office \u2014 I could barely dream of a day off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Utah Democrat says progressives will keep organizing after defeat<\/h4>\n

State Sen. Nate Blouin says the progressive movement \u201cstill has a long way to go\u201d after former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams prevailed in the Democratic primary for Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District. McAdams was considered a more moderate candidate than Blouin and the other two Democrats in the race, former Meta and TikTok employee Liban Mohamed and tax attorney Michael Farrell.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t the end,\u201d Blouin said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s the beginning of a new era of organizing in Utah, one focused on progressive values that strengthen our communities instead of billionaire donors and special interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A spokesperson for Blouin declined to immediately answer when asked by text if the lawmaker will get behind McAdams\u2019 campaign.<\/p>\n

Trump relishes in downfall of Democratic foes in New York primaries<\/h4>\n

The president delighted in the defeat of two of his Democratic foes in Tuesday\u2019s congressional primaries in New York.<\/p>\n

He slammed Rep. Dan Goldman, a former federal prosecutor who served as lead counsel for Trump\u2019s first impeachment, after Goldman lost his primary for a seat in Manhattan and Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeak and pathetic Congressman Dan Goldman just lost, BIG! I guess people didn\u2019t like him illegally targeting President TRUMP,\u201d the president wrote on his social media platform. \u201cIn any event, this jerk is finally GONE!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And he took aim at George Conway, who lost his bid to succeed outgoing Rep. Jerry Nadler in a crowded race in Manhattan, calling Conway a \u201cTrump Deranged Loser at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAdams reminds supporters he voted to impeach Trump<\/h4>\n

Democratic primary winner Ben McAdams in Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District outlined his previous work in Congress to expand healthcare, invest in public lands and secure protections for LGBTQ+ communities.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But McAdams told supporters that his defining vote was to impeach Donald Trump, which was met with loud applause.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would do it again,\u201d he said. \u201cCharacter matters, courage matters and right now talk is cheap. Utahans deserve someone who has already shown the courage to stand up and speak with conviction when the pressure is real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mamdani speaks in Brooklyn<\/h4>\n

The mayor celebrated all three of the candidates he endorsed winning their primaries on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cA year ago, it was not the end of a political movement,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was the beginning!\u201d<\/p>\n

The crowd chanted \u201cDSA! DSA!\u201d after Mamdani took the stage, the initials for the Democratic Socialists of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old politics that got us to this crisis is not the politics that is going to get us out of this crisis,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Defeated Democrat says party will unite behind McAdams in Utah<\/h4>\n

Candidate Michael Farrell says he\u2019s looking forward to working with Democratic primary winner Ben McAdams in Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District.<\/p>\n

Farrell, a tax attorney, added that he isn\u2019t worried about whether party members would rally behind McAdams following the highly competitive primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the results, clearly folks are supportive of Ben pushing forward, so I don\u2019t see an issue with that,\u201d Farrell said.<\/p>\n

Lasher hails the congressman \u2014 and ex-boss \u2014 he aims to succeed<\/h4>\n

After winning the Democratic nomination for retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler\u2019s seat in the heart of Manhattan, state Assemblymember Micah Lasher said Nadler has been a political presence throughout his life.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen I was born, I was already Assemblyman Nadler\u2019s constituent,\u201d Lasher said, adding that he later \u201cwatched as Congressman Nadler led fights long before they were convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lasher, who has also worked for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Mayor Mike Bloomberg, says he wants to \u201crevamp and recharge the Democratic Party\u201d and to \u201cshow that Democrats in Congress shave bold new ideas to improve the lives of struggling Americans and then deliver on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAdams thanks supporters<\/h4>\n

Former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams credited his supporters at his election party following what appeared to be a decisive victory in a crowded Democratic primary for Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Utah Democrats, thank you from the bottom of my heart,\u201d McAdams said. \u201cTonight this victory belongs to every volunteer who showed up on a hot June afternoon and knocked door after door.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He also asked for their continued support for the November general election: \u201cYou ran hard. You ran with conviction, and this party and this state are better for it. The energy and the passion your campaigns brought to this race is exactly what we need headed into November.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAdams voters cheer his victory<\/h4>\n

Supporters of former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams broke out in cheers as word of his victory spread at the Democrat\u2019s election watch party in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

People moved toward a podium surrounded by orange, blue and white balloons, where McAdams was getting ready to speak.<\/p>\n

He prevailed in a highly competitive Democratic primary for Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District and enters the general election as the favorite in the newly drawn district.<\/p>\n

Espaillat concedes New York\u2019s 13th District Democratic primary<\/h4>\n

\u201cTonight wasn\u2019t our night but I love you anyway,\u201d he told supporters.<\/p>\n

The New York congressman was up against Avila Chevalier, backed by Mamdani.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen i came to this nation as a young immigrant boy, I could have never imagined that I would be a member of Congress,\u201d Espaillat said. \u201cThat is the privilege of my life, to serve you the community, and I will continue to love and serve this community in the best way that I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Espaillat was the first person who had been an undocumented immigrant elected to Congress.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Avila Chevalier is currently a doctoral student at the City University of New York. Her victory underscores the influence of Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s political movement as he builds allies in Washington.<\/p>\n

Trump-backed US Rep. Celeste Maloy wins GOP primary for redrawn House seat in Utah<\/h4>\n

Maloy\u00a0defeated former state lawmaker Phil Lyman, who\u00a0embraced false claims of fraud\u00a0following the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The district, spanning most of southern and eastern Utah,\u00a0emerged last fall\u00a0from a legal battle over the state\u2019s previous congressional map, dramatically altering its makeup. The shakeup left Maloy vulnerable to a primary challenge.<\/p>\n

Under the new map, Democrats are\u00a0expected to pick up\u00a0one of Utah\u2019s four Republican-held House seats in the Salt Lake City area this fall.<\/p>\n

Maloy will face off against Democratic nominee Kent Udell, an engineer, in the November general election. The GOP candidate is heavily favored to win in the deep-red district.<\/p>\n

Alex Bores concedes in Democratic primary for Manhattan-based House seat after candidacy dominated by AI<\/h4>\n

The New York Assembly member lost the Democratic primary in the state\u2019s 12th Congressional District to Micah Lasher, who previously worked as an aide for the seat\u2019s current holder, Rep. Jerry Nadler.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t get in this race to make a point about AI,\u201d he said, but said \u201csome of the most powerful people on the planet\u201d lined up against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey set out to make people afraid of them,\u201d Bores said. \u201cInstead, they learned just how ready the people are to push back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Constantino wins GOP primary for an upstate New York district after Trump endorsement<\/h4>\n

The brash, Trump-backed MAGA disciple who owns a custom sticker business in upstate New York defeated state Assembly Member Robert Smullen in the Republican primary to replace outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik.<\/p>\n

Constantino, who drew national attention after he put a massive \u201cVote For Trump\u201d sign on the roof of his company\u2019s building, is expected to cruise to victory this fall in the heavily Republican district, which stretches across most of New York\u2019s northern tip.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Smullen had heavy support from the state\u2019s Republican Party but it was not enough to overcome the president\u2019s still-strong hold over voters.<\/p>\n

Stefanik late last year said she would not seek reelection to the House and that she was suspending her campaign for governor to spend more time with her family.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Goldman concedes to Lander in Democratic primary for New York\u2019s 10th District<\/h4>\n

US Rep. Dan Goldman said it was a privilege to serve in Washington, adding that there was a silver lining to his loss to Mamdani-backed Brad Lander.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to be a much more present father,\u201d he said. Goldman has five children.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Former US Rep. Ben McAdams wins Democratic primary for redrawn House district in Utah<\/h4>\n

Ben McAdams, a former Utah congressman who has sought to shed his reputation as a moderate, has won the Democratic primary in a\u00a0redrawn U.S. House district\u00a0that Democrats are strongly favored to win this fall.<\/p>\n

McAdams defeated several candidates to his political left, including a state senator and a former employee of TikTok and Meta who had insisted McAdams is too conservative to represent a deep blue district.<\/p>\n

The seat in the Salt Lake City area is among the few anticipated Democratic pickups following a national redistricting fight\u00a0started by Trump\u00a0to try to help Republicans maintain their majority in the U.S. House.<\/p>\n

The 1st Congressional District race could be crucial for Democrats, who need to gain only a few House seats in November to take control of the narrowly divided chamber.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

McAdams is strongly favored to defeat Republican Riley Owen, an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve who was chosen during the state GOP\u2019s spring convention.<\/p>\n

Republican Dan Cox will again face Democrat Wes Moore in Maryland governor\u2019s race<\/h4>\n

Cox beat a crowded field of competitors to clinch the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old ultraconservative former member of the state House of Delegates unsuccessfully ran against Moore four years ago.<\/p>\n

Cox has promoted Trump\u2019s lies about the 2020 election being stolen and organized buses to Washington for the \u201cStop the Steal\u201d rally on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He has pledged to slash taxes and beef up housing affordability programs if elected.<\/p>\n

Nate Blouin not getting his hopes up in Utah House race<\/h4>\n

The Democratic state senator said just before polls closed that he was feeling calm, \u201cbecause I think I know what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Blouin, a progressive Democrat, said he thinks the progressive vote will be divided, and former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams, a moderate, will prevail.<\/p>\n

Blouin had urged another progressive candidate, Liban Mohamed, to drop out of the Democratic primary for Utah\u2019s 1st Congressional District.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Polls have closed in Utah<\/h4>\n

In-person election day voting concluded in Utah at 8 p.m. local time, which is 10 p.m. EDT. Comparable past elections can\u00a0offer clues\u00a0about when to expect the first vote results and how long the vote count might take.<\/p>\n

In the 2024 state primary, The Associated Press first reported results at 10:03 p.m. EDT, or three minutes after polls closed. The last vote update of the night was at 2:07 a.m. EDT with about 74% of total votes counted. The tally surpassed 90% of the vote counted by June 27 at 6:32 p.m. EDT, two days after election day.<\/p>\n

Micah Lasher wins the Democratic nomination for a Manhattan-based US House seat<\/h4>\n

Lasher is running to replace his former boss Rep. Jerry Nadler.<\/p>\n

Lasher has worked as an aide for a wide range of New York political figures like Nadler, Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He won a bruising primary battle for one of the richest and most Democratic House seats in the country. The large field included Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg and former GOP lawyer George Conway.<\/p>\n

Schlossberg calls for \u2018different people\u2019 in fight against corruption<\/h4>\n

Jack Schlossberg took the stage in Manhattan after polls closed in New York\u2019s Democratic primary for the 12th Congressional District.<\/p>\n

The grandson of President John F. Kennedy was the first of the candidates in the race to speak, but neither conceded nor suggested he had won. Instead, he repeated his message of a need for the Democratic Party to put forward more vigorous candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what, if we win tonight, or if we don\u2019t, we\u2019re still in the midst of a corruption crisis,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to do things differently. We don\u2019t just need younger candidates. We need different people, people who are willing to speak plainly about the cost of living, about corruption and fearlessly about the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Army veteran Cait Conley wins Democratic House primary in key New York swing district<\/h4>\n

Conley will face Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in the general election for New York\u2019s 17th District.<\/p>\n

Lawler, a two-term congressman, is considered one of the nation\u2019s most vulnerable Republicans. Democrat Kamala Harris carried the Hudson Valley swing district in the last presidential race.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Conley earned the backing of national groups, including the American Federation of Teachers, VoteVets and the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old Democrat topped a field that featured Beth Davidson, a county legislator who raised questions about Conley\u2019s ties to companies involved with Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown. Conley denied any connection to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Conley emphasized her military background, having deployed six times as an Army officer to combat zones including Iraq and Afghanistan. She later served in the Biden administration as the director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council.<\/p>\n

Maryland state Del. Adrian Boafo wins Democratic primary in race to succeed Rep. Steny Hoyer<\/h4>\n

In choosing Boafo over nearly two dozen competitors, voters in the 5th District opted for a continuation of Hoyer\u2019s pragmatic style of politics rather than a more progressive, antiestablishment approach promised by some other candidates.<\/p>\n

Boafo, 32, is endorsed by Hoyer \u2014 his former boss \u2014 along with Gov. Wes Moore and other prominent Democrats. He also secured donations from tech firms and the cryptocurrency industry. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee\u2019s super PAC also spent more than $1 million backing him.<\/p>\n

Boafo worked as a field director and campaign manager for Hoyer before becoming a lobbyist and state delegate.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mamdani-backed candidate Claire Valdez wins Democratic primary in New York\u2019s 7th District<\/h4>\n

New York state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, a democratic socialist, defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso with the backing of Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Both endorsed Valdez in hopes of giving the progressive left a greater foothold over the Democratic establishment in New York\u2019s congressional delegation.<\/p>\n

The primary victory also leaves Valdez in strong position for November in the heavily Democratic district that covers parts of Brooklyn and Queens. It also marked a stinging setback for Reynoso, who had the endorsement of the district\u2019s retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Vel\u00e1zquez.<\/p>\n

Lots of voters in Salt Lake City despite wildfire smoke<\/h4>\n

Voters in the state\u2019s most populous city were turning out in large numbers even as smoke from wildfires burning across Utah turned the skies hazy and produced some of the worst air quality on the planet.<\/p>\n

Some voters at the Salt Lake County Government Center said they had been waiting for close to an hour as polls got busier later in the day. Some walked briskly to their vehicles after casting ballots, while others pulled up to drop boxes to avoid the lines and hazy air.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Seven large fires were\u00a0burning across Utah, including a blaze that started over the weekend in the dry, grassy foothills just outside Salt Lake City. It had the 12th-worst air quality of any city globally on Tuesday, according to IQAir\u2019s live ranking.<\/p>\n
