Instant Reaction: Mamdani's Historic NYC Win Headlines Democratic Election Sweep

Democrats swept the three major local elections in the US on Tuesday by wider-than-expected margins, giving the beleaguered party a much-needed boost 10 months into President Donald Trump’s second term.From New York’s City Hall to Virginia, where Democrats picked up a gubernatorial seat, and out to California, the victories will bolster morale in a party that’s been reeling after failing to win the White House, Senate and House of Representatives just a year ago.  In New York, voters elected 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, as mayor after he deployed a social media-savvy campaign and joined up with two progressive icons, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  For reaction and analysis, host Doug Krizner speaks with: - Jeanne Sheehan-Zaino, Democracy Visiting Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center and Bloomberg Politics Contributor - Greg Giroux, Bloomberg Government senior reporterSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
