Primaries, a Canceled Signing, and a Resurrected Climate Site

Several states held primaries yesterday, with New York City Mayor Zorron Mamdani successfully backing three candidates running for the U.S. House — including two Democratic socialists. Mamdani told NPR the results show people want change. "At the core of each of their candidacies is a belief that working people have to return back to the heart of our politics," he said, citing concerns about special interests buying election outcomes, a federal government pursuing "immigration policy that is cruel and does nothing to serve in the interest of public safety," and "an exhaustion with a foreign policy that would rather invest in bombs than in babies back home in our own districts."

In South Carolina, President Trump had endorsed both candidates who ran in the Republican primary for governor. State Attorney General Alan Wilson was the winner. Meanwhile, former Navy Admiral Nancy Lequeur won the Democratic nomination for a House seat; she had been fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
