Zohran Mamdani has been declared the projected winner of the New York City mayoral race in the early hours of November 5th, while California's Proposition 50 is also projected to pass. Governor Gavin Newsom stated that the passage of Proposition 50 represents a victory against autocratic rule, declaring, "No crowns. No thrones. No kings. That's what this victory represents." Mamdani's victory follows a campaign that reportedly utilized 104,000 volunteers who made 4.4 million calls and knocked on 3 million doors. In New York, Andrew Cuomo has been defeated in the mayoral election, with reports indicating his supporters shouted "Shame on Sliwa!" following his loss to Mamdani for the second time. Jack Ciattarelli has also reportedly lost his election for the third time. The New York City mayoral election saw unprecedented turnout, with Governor Newsom attributing this to voters standing firm against President Donald Trump's "recklessness." Democrats have secured significant victories in other races. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger was projected to win the Governor's election, and Ghazala Hashmi was projected to win Lieutenant Governor. Democrats also made gains in the New Jersey Assembly. In Minneapolis, Soren Stevenson won a city council seat. Donald Trump responded to Republican losses by calling for "VOTER REFORM."
