On June 23, 2023, voters in New York, South Carolina, Maryland, and Utah participated in primary elections for various congressional and gubernatorial races.
These primaries included several closely watched contests, particularly in New York, where incumbent Democratic representatives faced challenges from progressive candidates. The elections were seen as a reflection of the ongoing ideological battles within the Democratic Party.
Key races included the Democratic primary in New York's 10th District, where incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman faced a challenge from former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who was backed by progressive figures including Mayor Zohran Mamdani. In New York's 13th District, incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat faced a challenge from Darializa Avila Chevalier. Other notable races included the GOP primary in South Carolina for the governor's nomination and various Democratic primaries in Maryland.
The results of these primaries will determine the nominees for the general election in November, impacting the composition of Congress.
