Results are still coming in as votes are counted in New York City, New Jersey and Virginia, where Democratic candidates swept to victory in closely watched races.
New York City mayor’s race
Democrat Zohran Mamdani will win the three-way race for New York City mayor, CBS News projects — defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who’s running as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Mamdani, 34, is a democratic socialist who promised rent freezes and free buses during his campaign. Cuomo was backed by several establishment Democrats — and even by President Trump. The closely watched race is all but certain to fuel debate over Democrats’ future going into the midterms, a year after losing the presidency, the House and the Senate in 2024.

Gov. Phil Murphy is serving his second term as governor, and Sherrill’s victory means the governorship will be under Democratic control for three straight terms — the first time either party has held the governor’s seat for three terms in a row since 1961.

Virginia governor’s race
In Virginia, former Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears to be Virginia’s next governor, CBS News projected. Spanberger is making history as the first woman to serve in the role.

Running as a moderate, Spanberger flipped the governorship, which is currently held by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Youngkin is prohibited from running for a consecutive term under state law. The race is widely seen as a referendum on President Trump, who did not endorse Earle-Sears.
