Mamdani will become New York City's first Muslim mayor. Spanberger will become Virginia's first female governor. California Gov. Gavin Newsom framed the result of today's ballot measure on redistricting as a rebuke of Trump. "In a 90-day sprint, people from all over the United States of America contributed their voices and their support for this initiative," the Democratic governor told reporters. "We stood tall and we stood firm in response to Donald Trump's recklessness, and tonight, after poking the bear, this bear roared with an unprecedented turnout in a special election with an extraordinary result."

Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in Tuesday's election, ABC News projects.

At his victory party in Brooklyn, Mamdani supporters cheered and embraced, some tearfully, after the race was called.

Mamdani urged the city to "breathe this moment in." Democrats triumphed in high-profile races that unfolded across the country on Tuesday, including New York City's mayoral election and governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia. In California, voters also chose to redraw their state's congressional map in a move that could net Democrats five House seats. The elections help provide a picture of how Americans feel about President Donald Trump's first nine months in office. Following a wave of Republican losses, Trump tried to blame the election results on his not being on the ballot and the prolonged government shutdown. Zohran Mamdani, New York City's mayor-elect, had majority support from voters under the age of 45, while over half of voters 65 and older supported Andrew Cuomo, according to ABC News exit polls.

Keren Carrión/NPR hide caption BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City, becoming the first Muslim and person of South Asian descent — as well as the youngest in over a century — to... "The future is in our hands," Mamdani declared to roaring applause Tuesday night at a victory celebration in Brooklyn. "My friends, tonight we have toppled a political dynasty."

The 34-year-old, Ugandan-born Democratic socialist defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an Independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in Tuesday's election, according to a race call by the Associated Press.

He went on to win June's Democratic primary by 12 percentage points, quickly becoming one of the country's most popular and polarizing politicians along the way.
