mamdani wins in nyc spanberger elected governor in va sherrill takes

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."

Newsom blamed Trump for starting a multi-state fight on redistricting after the president urged Texas GOP leaders over the summer to redraw congressional lines in an attempt to gain five more House seats for... "Donald Trump's efforts to rig the midterm election continue to this day," Newsom said. NEW YORK (WABC) -- Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city's first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become the city's youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan.

1. Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill has been elected governor of New Jersey. The four-term member of Congress centered her campaign on her biography as a Navy helicopter pilot and former prosecutor who would stand up to President Donald Trump. She will be New Jersey's second female governor.

Leading up to yesterday’s Election Day, two closely watched governor’s races attracted attention: Mikie Sherrill’s in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger’s in Virginia. Both candidates were centrist Democrats who rose to power in the first post-Trump wave—part of the 2018 edition of the “year of the woman.” Both emphasized their veteran bona fides, Sherrill as a veteran... They were even roommates on Capitol Hill. But as Election Day drew closer, their races tightened. Some started to question whether that approach—compared to Zohran Mamdani’s high-energy race for mayor in NYC as a democratic socialist—could win voters today. Last night, both Sherrill and Spanberger pulled it off (as did Mamdani).

Their wins will tie an all-time high for women governors, with 14 soon to be in power. While Sherrill and Spanberger are more centrist than leftist, they still ran on issues driving voters right now: namely, affordability, with promises to lower costs of health care, housing, and utilities. Spanberger told supporters after her win: “We sent a message to the whole world that in 2025, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship.” Sherrill saw how historic this pair of wins was for “the little... Key elections on Tuesday night saw a sweep by the Democratic Party and a number of milestones, from the first female mayor of Detroit to the first Muslim woman to hold statewide office. The biggest headline of the night, Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York mayoral race, made him the first Muslim, South Asian and person born in Africa to be elected to Gracie Mansion. This live blog about the November 2025 elections has ended.
