June 25 features primaries in New York and Utah. Colorado will hold primaries as well as a special general election in the 4th congressional district. There will also be primary runoffs in South Carolina.
The headline race will be in New York’s 16th district, where progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman is facing a serious challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
In Colorado’s Republican-leaning 4th district, controversial GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert is switching from the more competitive 3rd district after winning in 2022 by fewer than 550 votes, and she’ll need to defeat 5 other Republican hopefuls to win the nomination. Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck resigned from the 4th district seat in March, so there’s a special election to replace him, but GOP nominee Greg Lopez isn’t seeking the full term.
In Utah, we’ll be watching GOP primary challengers to 2nd district Rep. Celeste Maloy, who is seeking her first full term after winning a special election last year, and to Gov. Spencer Cox. In the GOP Senate primary to replace retiring incumbent Mitt Romney, Trent Staggs will hope a Trump endorsement can help him upset Rep. John Curtis.
Only one of South Carolina’s congressional primaries went to a runoff, but in the 3rd district Republican primary, Trump-endorsed pastor Mark Burns faces Sheri Biggs, a nurse practitioner endorsed by Gov. Henry McMaster.
CNN will have statewide data for New York and Colorado in the election system.
