New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump are not on the ballot in the upcoming primary elections in New York, Maryland, Utah, and South Carolina, but their influence within the Democratic and Republican parties will be assessed. Trump endorsed both candidates in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial runoff, while Mamdani is supporting a group of left-wing candidates challenging established party figures. This includes Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is running against Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York's 13th Congressional District, and Brad Lander, who is challenging Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th District. Mamdani's endorsements reflect his strategy to leverage his political capital after his previous electoral success. In South Carolina, Trump's dual endorsement of candidates Alan Wilson and Pamela Evette is seen as a way to maintain his influence over the GOP. The primaries are viewed as critical tests of both leaders' political sway, with implications for the upcoming midterm elections.
