Mamdani becomes New York mayor, says his victory shows way to 'defeat' Trump

New Yorkers elected young leftist Zohran Mamdani as their next mayor Tuesday and Democrats won two key state governor races. He focused on living costs facing ordinary New Yorkers, building support through his informal personal style, social media savvy and a massive canvassing ground game. "The next and last stop was City Hall," Mamdani said in a video posted to X after his victory was declared.
