What are the latest election results in New York City?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. NPR's Brian Mann says Mamdani defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Lewa.
A year ago, Mamdani, who will be New York's first Muslim mayor, was relatively unknown, and Cuomo was a political titan. But last night, it was Mamdani declaring victory.
The future is in our hands. My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty.
Cuomo was hobbled in this race by sexual harassment scandals that drove him from office in 2021.
How did Zoran Mamdani win against political giants?
In his concession, Cuomo voiced anger at Mamdani's embrace of socialism.
We support an economy of jobs, of opportunity, of entrepreneurship.
But many of Mamdani's supporters say his victory was a sign voters want new, more hopeful politics. Brian Mann, NPR News, New York.
Cuomo was endorsed by President Trump, who threatened to withhold some federal funding to New York City if Mamdani won. First, responders are searching for more possible victims at the site of yesterday's UPS cargo plane crash at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. Governor Andy Beshear says at least nine people have died.
But I'm now fairly confident that that number will grow by at least one. We hope it doesn't grow by too many more. I believe by this afternoon, we'll have a pretty good grasp of both the number of fatalities and if there are any, the number of missing persons that we're still looking for.
Authorities say at least 11 people were injured.
What happened in the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville?
Video showed flames on the plane's left wing and a trail of smoke. The aircraft crashed as it was departing for Honolulu. Today, the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case testing whether President Trump may, acting on his own, impose tariffs. Under a federal law that does not specify that it covers tariffs or duties on imported goods. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports the president is relying on what he calls his emergency powers.
The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority has in the past been receptive to Trump's claims of presidential authority. But most of those Trump victories came in cases involving the so-called emergency docket, allowing Trump policies to take effect on a temporary basis while the litigation played out in the lower courts. The tariff cases are the real thing. with the court having ordered full briefing and expedited arguments. On its face, Trump's opponents have a strong case, but the court is often reluctant to second-guess presidential determinations on questions of national security. Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington.
