Zohran Mamdani is the youngest, first Muslim and first South Asian mayor of New York City
A big night for the US Democrats who swept the first major elections since Donald Trump returned to office. The results sending an early warning to the Republicans, ahead of next year's midterms. A historic win in New York, as the city voted in Zohran Mamdani - its first mayor of South Asian descent and the youngest to serve in more than a century. In Virginia, former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger became the state’s first female governor. Another high-powered woman, Mikie Sherrill won the race in New Jersey, while Gavin Newsom won the governorship in California.
