Zohran Mamdani has won the mayoral election in New York City and will become the first Muslim mayor of the largest city in the US.

The 34-year-old self-proclaimed democratic socialist was relatively unknown just a few months ago and swept to victory on promises to tax millionaires to pay for expanded social programs.

"In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light," Mamdani says in a victory speech outlining his policies as he challenges President Trump.

Democrats have achieved a historic triple-A victory in key elections on Election Day, November 4. Democrats are projected to win the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.

Also today, Californians voted to redraw the state's congressional districts in favor of the Democratic Party ahead of next year's elections.

A day earlier, President Trump threatened to cut federal funding to New York if Mamdani wins over independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

The election was seen as the first major electoral test of Donald Trump's second presidency. In a social media post tonight, he blamed the Republican losses on the government shutdown and his own absence from the vote.

Who is Zohran Mamdani?

Born in Kampala, Uganda, on October 18, 1991, Zohran Kwame Mamdani grew up in an intellectual and multicultural environment. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is one of the most renowned scholars of politics and colonialism in Africa, while his mother, Mira Nair, is an internationally acclaimed director of films such as Monsoon Wedding and The Namesake.

The family moved first to South Africa and then to New York, where Zohran arrived at the age of seven.

After graduating with a degree in African Studies from Bowdoin College in Maine, he worked in social work as a housing counselor, an experience that profoundly influenced his political outlook.
