June’s primaries set the stage for the off-year’s marquee races. Two blue states where Donald Trump gained ground in 2024 will elect new governors — offering a potential preview of next year’s critical midterms. And New York City’s voters will choose a mayor to lead the nation’s largest city for the next four years. In New Jersey on June 10, both parties picked their nominees for governor. The Virginia gubernatorial matchup is already set, but Democrats will pick nominees for two other statewide offices on June 17 and June 24 is the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. Scroll down for earlier 2025 election results.
New Jersey results
Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeated a crowded field of challengers, including mayors Ras Baraka of Newark and Steven Fulop of Jersey City to get the chance to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. On the Republican side, President Donald Trump’s endorsement helped 2021 nominee Jack Ciattarelli defeat conservative former talk radio host Bill Spadea. In November, Democrats will try to win a third consecutive term in the governor’s mansion, something that hasn’t happened since the 1960s, while Republicans hope to capitalize on their recent gains in the traditionally blue state.
April 1 contests
Florida results
Republicans won two special Congressional elections in Florida, which were held to replace former GOP Reps. Michael Waltz and Matt Gaetz. While Waltz and Gaetz both won by more than 30 percentage points in November, the special election results were considerably closer.
Wisconsin results
Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford won an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to maintain the court’s 4-3 liberal majority. Crawford easily won the non-partisan race, despite Trump’s narrow 2024 victory in the state. Voters also approved a ballot measure to enshrine the state’s voter ID requirement in the state constitution and reelected the state’s Superintendent of Public Instruction.
