NEW YORK — At 28, Rama Duwaji will be the youngest first lady New York City has ever had — thrust into the spotlight as her husband Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral race on Tuesday night.And in his victory speech, the mayor-elect had a special shoutout for his wife standing beside him."And to my incredible wife, Rama, hayati," he said, using the Arabic word for "my life".

Her work has appeared on BBC News, and in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vice and London's Tate Modern museum."Rama isn't just my wife; she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms,"...

Democrats sweep major races as voters send Trump a message
NEW YORK — Voters up and down the East Coast delivered Democrats a sweep on Tuesday, electing candidates across the party’s ideological spectrum in a vivid show of discontent with President Donald Trump nearly a year into his second term.In Virginia, moderate former Rep. Abigail Spanberger turned in the strongest Democratic performance in the state’s recent history as she coasted to victory. And in New Jersey, another moderate, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, busted apart the coalition Trump and her Republican rival, former state lawmaker Jack Ciattarelli, had put together to close the Garden State’s gap in recent elections.In New York City, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s win marked the second time this year he’d defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — first in the Democratic...

‘Mamdani Mubarak!’: New York’s South Asians celebrate the ascension of one of their own
NEW YORK — As Zohran Mamdani took the stage for his victory speech Tuesday night, the staff at Kabab King paused to listen. They recorded his speech and listened to his every word. The dining cutlery that was clanking away just moments before fell silent.“New York City, breathe this moment in,” Mamdani said.Locals had flocked to the mayor-elect’s go-to biryani spot in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens hoping that he might show up — he has made the venue a frequent campaign stop — or just to celebrate the longtime neighborhood institution where biryani and kebabs are on virtually every table.“Most people think this is a hole in the wall, but he comes here,” says Lakshmi Shubha, a Roosevelt Island resident, who came to Kabab King with two of her friends.Shortly after...

Mamdani seals remarkable victory — but real challenges await
NEW YORK — Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York City, is notable in many ways. He will become the city's youngest mayor since 1892, its first Muslim mayor and its first mayor born in Africa.He entered the race last year with next to no name recognition, little money and no institutional party support.That alone makes his victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa remarkable.But more than that, he represents the kind of politician that many in the Democratic Party's left have been seeking for years.He is young and charismatic, with his generation's natural comfort with social media.His ethnicity reflects the diversity of the party's base. He hasn't shied away from a political fight and has proudly espoused...

Virginians 'chose pragmatism over partisanship', says Spanberger after win
Democrat Abigail Spanberger to become Virginia's first female governor
RICHMOND — Democrat Abigail Spanberger has been projected as winning the race for Virginia governor after a closely-watched election which her party hoped could signal a national trend.The former congresswoman and CIA officer defeated the state's Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears.Virginia's leadership usually swings between Democrats and Republicans, meaning the outcome might serve as a bellwether for the electorate's mood going into next year's midterm elections.Democrats also picked up a win in a governor's race in New Jersey and another in New York City which elected its first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani.Even though his name was not on the ballot, the race in Virginia was being viewed as a referendum on President Donald Trump's...
