New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump are not on the ballot but are influencing the Democratic and Republican parties during primary elections in New York, Maryland, Utah, and South Carolina. Trump endorsed both candidates in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial runoff, while Mamdani supports several left-wing candidates, including Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is challenging Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York's 13th U.S. House District. Mamdani's endorsements are seen as a test of his political power, as he aims to reshape the Democratic Party. In South Carolina, Trump's dual endorsement strategy reflects his attempt to maintain influence over the GOP. The primaries also include notable races in New York, where incumbents are retiring, and candidates are vying for positions in a shifting political landscape. The outcomes of these elections could have implications for both parties as they prepare for the upcoming midterm elections.
