Primary elections held on June 2, 2026, across Los Angeles, Iowa, and New Jersey revealed mixed results, indicating potential shifts in political landscapes and the influence of endorsements. In Los Angeles, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is headed to a runoff, becoming the first mayor in over two decades to face this scenario, while reality star Spencer Pratt is in contention for the second spot, with progressive councilmember Nithya Raman trailing. Iowa saw a loss for a Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate, with Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra conceding to Zach Lahn, who will now face Democrat Rob Sand. Meanwhile, Iowa state Rep. Josh Turek's projected win in the Democratic Senate primary is viewed as a victory for establishment Democrats, positioning him to face Trump-backed Rep. Ashley Hinson. New Jersey's 7th Congressional District is set for a competitive race between Democrat Rebecca Bennett and incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Kean, who has been absent from Congress for months due to an undisclosed medical issue.
