George Conway, who ran for Congress on an ‘anti-Trump’ message, finished fifth place in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District. The former conservative lawyer and the ex-husband of President Trump’s former Senior Counselor, Kellyanne Conway, tallied about 6 percent with nearly 87 percent of the expected votes in. The race in the deep-blue district is to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. Before the election, Conway was asked if his anti-Trump platform ‘got through’ to voters.

That's just pitiful. — toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) June 24, 2026 The Hill shared further info on the race: New York State Assemblymember Micah Lasher (D) is projected to win the Democratic primary for the Manhattan-based House seat currently held by his former boss, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), beating a crowded field of contenders, according to Decision Desk HQ. Lasher, who once served as an aide to Nadler and held top positions under Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (D), defeated seven other Democrats in a race that quickly morphed into a proxy battle over artificial intelligence (AI) regulation and safety. Nadler and Hochul endorsed Lasher in the race. Lasher’s most serious contender was fellow New York State Assembly member Alex Bores (D), who made a name for himself over AI regulation and safety legislation signed into law by Hochul. Groups on both sides of the tech regulatory issue have spent money to either take him down and support his candidacy. Several groups advocating for stricter AI regulations spent more than $20 million to back Bores’ candidacy, while another AI heavyweight group, Leading the Future, poured over $8 million against him as a broader debate over whether to have states regulate the industry individually or create a national framework plays out. The race also featured President John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, who finished in third place. Schlossberg was asked if he had any regrets about the way he ran his campaign.

An Emerson College poll from May showed Lasher and Bores as the leading contenders. Conway was also a familiar name in the election. He is well known as a conservative lawyer who turned into a vocal critic of President Trump. He co-founded The Lincoln Project, which is an anti-Trump super PAC. The 12th District became one of the most expensive congressional primaries in the country, with Bloomberg spending millions of dollars in support of the race. AdImpact reported that $26 million was spent on ads for the race. Tuesday’s winner is favored to take the election in November due to the district’s strong Democratic leaning.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) has been defeated in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District, which covers Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. The race, which former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander dominated by roughly 30 points, highlights the divide in the Democratic Party over Israel and the influence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. “Backed by Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander just pulled off a major Democratic primary upset. The Former New York City Comptroller defeated Rep. Dan Goldman, the former federal prosecutor who served as lead counsel during the first impeachment inquiry into President Trump,” Fox News wrote. “Goldman was first elected to Congress in 2022 after winning a crowded Democratic primary in the newly redrawn district. The victory is being seen as a win for the Democratic Party’s progressive wing in one of the bluest congressional districts in the country,” it added.

Goldman is the fifth House incumbent to lose a primary so far in 2026, as a swath of voters express frustration with their party’s leaders. Goldman had been seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party because of his high-profile role as lead counsel during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial. After he narrowly won a crowded primary in 2022, he has been a prominent voice fighting the Trump administration on issues like abortion and immigration. He also leaned on his personal wealth in the primary and touted endorsements from Gov. Kathy Hochul, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and key labor unions. But his greatest vulnerability among Democratic voters in a district that pushes down into the rapidly gentrifying corners of Brooklyn was on the issue of Israel. Goldman, who is Jewish, is supported both by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a bipartisan group that has drawn the ire of progressives, and the more liberal group J Street, which also designated him an “approved” candidate. Goldman sought to style himself as a progressive supporter of Israel, seeking to separate criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the war against Hamas in Gaza from calls to block military aid to the country. Lander criticized Goldman for not standing up to billionaires and campaigned on providing stronger opposition to the Trump administration. He labeled Goldman as a “corporate Democrat.” “My real beef with [Goldman] is that he’s not taking on the wealthy special interests and billionaires that have brought Trump in the first place,” Lander said, according to CBS News. Lander said part of his victory over Goldman says “Democratic voters want to reset the U.S. relationship with Israel.” “They don’t want a foreign policy that compromises on anyone’s humanity,” he added. Watch below: Brad Lander on what he thinks his win tonight means: pic.twitter.com/UnNFoHXRh2 — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) June 24, 2026 CBS News shared further: “I don’t know what that means,” Goldman responded during his own interview. “I have a bill that is called the Robinhood Act, that has interest and support from Republicans, that would make Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, who pay almost no tax and people like them, actually pay significantly more in tax, because our system is rigged, it’s unequal and I’m trying to address that.” Both campaigned heavily against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Lander was arrested by ICE agents last year while observing immigration court and, as he claimed, helping escort people out so they were not taken by ICE. He was running for mayor at the time. Goldman has questioned the federal government’s stated goal of getting rid of immigrants who are criminals and touted his work to free more than three dozen unlawfully detained immigrants. He also said he confronted masked ICE agents who appeared to be waiting to arrest people after routine immigration court hearings.

During a Senate Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) credited a Delta Air Lines flight crew for helping avoid a catastrophic collision at Boston’s Logan Airport. The hearing, titled “Close calls: Improving safety across the national airspace system,” referenced the near-collision between a Delta Air Lines aircraft and an American Airlines aircraft. “The crew of the Delta flight spotted the American Boeing 737 and executed a go-around to avoid a collision, saving the lives of the 129 passengers and six crew members on board,” Duckworth said, according to CBS News. “U.S Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call between two aircraft at Boston Logan International Airport on Saturday. The FAA said the crew of Delta Air Lines Flight 2351, Airbus A319, executed a go-around at Boston’s airport around 11:30 a.m. because another aircraft (AA3161 Boeing 737-823) was departing from an intersecting runway,” Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote. “A Delta spokesperson, who noted nothing is more important than safety, confirmed the crew of Flight 2351 followed established procedures in coordination with Air Traffic Control and performed a go-around on approach into Logan Airport,” it added.

Air traffic control audio of the incident suggested that the air traffic controllers may have lost track of the American flight headed to Charlotte, North Carolina after clearing it for takeoff. Sen. Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican, also made note of the close call in his opening remarks. “While the flight landed safely and no one was injured, the incident serves again as a reminder of why continued vigilance and safety improvements across the national airspace system remain essential,” he said. “The FAA is again investigating a close call that occurred after a commercial flight, carrying more than 100 passengers, had to abort its landing to avoid colliding with another commercial flight at Boston Logan International Airport on Saturday,” Moran said on Monday. “Tomorrow, I’m holding a @SenateCommerce Aviation Subcommittee hearing to examine the growing concern shared by industry, government & traveling public on the numerous close calls we’ve seen in recent years across the U.S. It is critical that we address the challenges facing our aviation system and improve the procedures and technologies that keep the flying public safe,” he added.

The American Airlines plane – a Boeing 737-823 aircraft – was departing for Charlotte at the time of the scare. The carrier referred requests for comment to the Federal Aviation Administration. Go-arounds are safe, routine procedures performed at the discretion of the pilot or air traffic controllers, according to the FAA.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has won the GOP primary to become the state’s next governor. Wilson defeated Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in a runoff after neither candidate could secure a majority in the primary election. Wilson’s victory comes days after President Trump endorsed both candidates heading into the runoff. Decision Desk HQ projects Alan Wilson wins the SC Governor Republican Runoff#DecisionMade: 7:22 PM EDT pic.twitter.com/i9CUeJWTTk — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) June 23, 2026 More from The New York Times: Mr. Wilson, a National Guard veteran, defeated Pamela Evette, the lieutenant governor of South Carolina, who was the first candidate to receive Mr. Trump’s endorsement last month. Even before she secured the president’s backing, Ms. Evette had largely centered her campaign on her loyalty to Mr. Trump. But the president’s support was not enough to help her avoid a runoff. And last week, as polls showed Mr. Wilson leading Ms. Evette, Mr. Trump announced on Truth Social that he was endorsing both candidates, hedging his bets amid his mixed results with governor’s races this year. The president, who pays close attention to his political standing, wrote on Truth Social that “with either one you can’t go wrong.” As of Tuesday night, Mr. Wilson had won around 65 percent of the vote. Ms. Evette had about 34 percent. South Carolina has elected only Republican governors since 2002, meaning that Mr. Wilson is likely to become governor in November. “Congratulations to my friend, @AGAlanWilson, on his well-deserved victory tonight. I was proud to endorse him and campaign with him this week,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) commented. “Alan is a proven conservative fighter, and now it’s time for South Carolinians to unite behind him and get him across the finish line in November!” he added. Congratulations to my friend, @AGAlanWilson, on his well-deserved victory tonight. I was proud to endorse him and campaign with him this week. Alan is a proven conservative fighter, and now it’s time for South Carolinians to unite behind him and get him across the finish line… pic.twitter.com/g1686VPisH — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 23, 2026 NBC News shared further: Before Trump’s double endorsement, Reps. Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace endorsed Wilson after they finished third and fifth, respectively, in the first primary. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., also backed Wilson. South Carolina has elected Republican governors in every election since 2002, when its last Democratic governor, Jim Hodges, was leaving office. Before this race, Trump’s preferred candidates had faced challenges in several recent governor’s races. In Iowa’s and Georgia’s campaigns for governor this month, the Trump-backed candidates lost in their primaries. Rep. Randy Feenstra, whom Trump endorsed, lost his Republican primary in Iowa to businessman Zach Lahn. After the race, Trump suggested he had not been fully familiar with the contest and remarked that “the other person was much more Trump” than Feenstra. Then, in Georgia, political newcomer Rick Jackson, a billionaire businessman, defeated Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the race for governor.

While President Donald Trump’s critics scoff at his ongoing efforts to make the nation’s capital a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful district, one large corporation is committed to helping. ScottsMiracle-Gro, which is led by a supporter of the Trump administration, has promised to contribute $1 million in “monetary and product support” to repair the White House lawn following a series of events celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary. As The Hill reported: “The president knows a lot about grass,” ScottsMiracle-Gro chief operating officer Nate Baxter told Fox Business, pointing to Trump’s history with golf courses. “It was really interesting to watch our tour scientists and President Trump talk through each of these.” The White House officials said it was a private donation for lawn care and no taxpayer dollars will be used for the restoration, according to The Washington Post. The extent of the repairs to the nearby Ellipse, which was similarly damaged during the UFC event held earlier this month, remained unclear. Aerial images taken in the aftermath of the event showed large patches of discoloration and stripped dirt where grass had previously covered around the Ellipse. The private-sector commitment drew some social media attention: While the usual suspects cried “SHAMEFUL!” and “they destroyed the White House lawn!!” after the epic UFC Freedom 250 on June 14… A company run by a Trump supporter just pledged $1 MILLION in cash + product support to repair the South Lawn — and make it STRONGER than before!… pic.twitter.com/1v1MXH6qqX — JB MAGA (@JBMAGA03) June 23, 2026 Here’s the full text of the post above: While the usual suspects cried “SHAMEFUL!” and “they destroyed the White House lawn!!” after the epic UFC Freedom 250 on June 14… A company run by a Trump supporter just pledged $1 MILLION in cash + product support to repair the South Lawn — and make it STRONGER than before!

The company expects the South Lawn to be fully restored by next spring, according to Fox Business. White House representatives said the $1 million is a private donation and that no taxpayer funds were being used on the restoration work, according to The Washington Post. ScottsMiracle-Gro has made donations on both sides of the political aisle via individuals and affiliates. The Ohio-based company donated $500,000 to the Make America Great Again Inc. super PAC in the 2024 election, according to the nonpartisan nonprofit Open Secrets.
