How America reacted to US election results: Democrats celebrate big wins; Muslims hail Mamdani’s NYC victory as watershed moment

Democrats have secured major victories in the recent elections. Zohran Mamdani has become New York Citys first South Asian and Muslim mayor, Abigail Spanberger has been elected as Virginias first female governor, and Mikie Sherrill has triumphed in New Jersey. These wins signal a potential political shift and have reinvigorated the Democratic Party ahead of the forthcoming congressional midterms.
