Chapter 2: What did President Trump say about New York City's mayor-elect?
President Trump is lashing out at the New York City mayor-elect Zoran Mondani. As NPR's Franco Ordonez reports, Trump suggested New Yorkers will leave the city as a result of the election.
In his first public remark specifically addressing the mayor-elect's victory, Trump suggested Zoran Mondani represented the future direction of the Democratic Party.
After last night's results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.
Trump charged that New Yorkers will flee the city as a result. Mamdani rejects the label of a communist. Earlier in the day, he criticized Trump for failing to deliver on his campaign promises to deliver cheaper groceries. Mamdani campaigned on a platform of affordability.

Historically, young Americans aren't big participants in off-year elections, but as NPR's Elena Moore reports, they helped carry Democrats to victory on Tuesday in several key races.
From gubernatorial matchups in New Jersey and Virginia to the mayoral race in New York City, youth turnout appears to have significantly increased, according to an early analysis from the research organization Circle. Exit polls also show young people overwhelmingly backed Democrats.
Mikey Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spamburger in Virginia each received roughly 70 percent of the under-30 vote in their gubernatorial races. And in New York City, nearly 80 percent of young voters cast a ballot for Zoran Mamdani for mayor. Concern about the rising cost of living was a key theme in each race and remains a major issue for young voters across the country.

California Republicans have filed a lawsuit to block a new congressional map that voters approved yesterday. The map aims to help Democrats flip up to five congressional seats in next year's midterm elections. Republicans argue the map illegally uses race to redraw the map in favor of Hispanic voters. They're asking the court to block the new districts before the 2026 elections.
