Massie, who held his seat for fourteen years, lost the most expensive primary race in history to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, with Trump's pick gaining about 55% of the vote. The historic race saw the president ramp up his efforts to punish his critics, attacking Massie consistently while his allies and pro-Israel groups poured millions into anti-Massie ad spending in the state.

A large part of this election was about the power of clickbait, Crenshaw told reporters after his loss. Memes became truth. Too many people are not discerning through the clickbait. People voting one after the other literally thought I was making millions in the stock market doing inside trading. Even though I haven't made a trade in three years.

Marling donated $675,000 in the GOP primary, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the amount spent by a super PAC opposed to Crenshaw. Marling's contributions bankrolled a stream of mailers and TV ads that have inundated Crenshaw's southeastern Texas district since the beginning of the year.

While both candidates boast immense social media followings-Talarico with 1.6 million followers and Crockett with 2.6 million followers on TikTok-it wasn't just the candidates who drove the conversation. It was the creators around them, who offer a preview of the digital fights to come throughout the midterms and, ultimately, the 2028 presidential race.

A selection of parties on the French left have announced their intention to hold primaries to field a candidate of the 'united left' in the 2027 presidential elections, to better face the challenge of the far-right candidate. Making the announcement on Saturday, Green party leader Marine Tondelier said: "We don't have the right not to offer a perspective to the working classes, to the people of the left."

A few days after June 24, two major unions-representing hotel workers (HTC) and building staffers (32BJ SEIU)-shifted their endorsements from Cuomo to Mamdani. Both active and retired members of these large unions helped Zohran gain over a half-million more votes than he received in round one of the June primary. Like 32BJ and HTC, county Democratic leaders Keith Wright and Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn quickly shifted their support from Cuomo to Mamdani after he became the nominee.

Over 70 percent of voters filled out all five slots but did not rank Andrew Cuomo, with only 8 percent of voters who ranked Mamdani first also ranking Cuomo.
