Democrat Zohran Mamdani will become the youngest mayor of New York City since 1892 and the first Muslim, after defeating independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. In a fury, Trump demanded on social media: 'End the filibuster' and pass legislation. 'END THE FILIBUSTER!!!,' the president wrote. In another post, he detailed his demands: 'Pass Electoral Reform, Voter ID, NO to Mail-in Ballots.' U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged on Tuesday night the defeat of the Republican Party in local elections and key races, attributing the result to two factors: his name not being on the ballots and the recent federal government shutdown. 'Trump was not on the ballot and the government shutdown were the two reasons why Republicans lost the elections tonight,' Trump posted in all caps on the social network Truth. The reaction came after the Republicans suffered key defeats. Virginia: Democrat Abigail Spanberger was elected the state's first female governor, defeating Republican Winsome Earle-Sears with about 55% of the vote. New Jersey: Former U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli, a Trump ally, thus extending Democratic control of the state's executive office.
