The Democrats dominated the first major election day since Donald Trump became president with a series of victories

A Democratic Socialists of America leader says New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offers a "powerful way forward" for Democrats — but some moderates worry he'll hand the GOP "a pretty potent set of weapons" in next year's midterms.

Democrats were riding high after their election victories, while Republicans were brushing aside off-year races as aberrations that aren't predictive of the 2026 midterms.

Republicans said Tuesday’s Democratic victories were expected. But the results revealed deeper problems for the GOP.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo took a last-minute shot at Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, calling him an "extreme far socialist." Cuomo trails Mamdani by nearly 15% in the RCP Average of polls going into election day.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old member of the New York State Assembly and the Democratic Party’s nominee for mayor, took 50.4% of the vote on Tuesday.

The Democratic Party is perceived as being overly-focused on “Protecting the rights of undocumented immigrants” and “Protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” the survey found.

The start of voting Tuesday was disrupted after officials in seven counties received emailed bomb threats later determined by law enforcement to be unfounded.
