Voters across several states recently approved different ballot measures, mostly favouring Democratic ideas, except in Republican-stronghold Texas. Maine: Voters rejected proposals that would have made voting harder, such as shortening the early voting period and requiring photo ID (a policy President Donald Trump supported). They also approved a "red flag" gun control law. Colorado: Voters decided to raise taxes on wealthier residents to fund free school meals for public school students. Texas: In contrast, voters approved two constitutional amendments: one requiring US citizenship to vote in the state, and another confirming that parents have the final say in their children's decisions. Looking ahead to national politics: The most significant state decision affecting future national politics is taking place in California.

This live blog about the November 2025 elections has ended. Far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani won the NYC mayoral election on Tuesday, handing an embarrassing defeat to ex-governor Andrew Cuomo and toppling GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani will be sworn in as the city’s 111th mayor on Jan. 1, 2026. He spent much of his morning going on talk shows discussing his victory. He appeared on “Good Morning America” and NY1.

He used his time on air to discuss why he used his victory speech to take shots at President Trump. He held his first press conference on Wednesday as mayor-elect where he revealed he hasn’t spoken with Mayor Eric Adams or President Trump since his win.
