The Democrats dominated the first major election day since Donald Trump became president with a series of victories

As voters lined up at the polls Tuesday, social media users claimed that how candidates are listed on New York City ballots is proof that voting is rigged.

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Wednesday that the Democratic Party must step aside to let candidates "shine" after recent wins in New Jersey, Virginia and New York elections.

New York’s mayoral ballots list candidates multiple times because of fusion voting, designed to empower minor parties and clarify voter preference

By Maria Tsvetkova NEW YORK (Reuters) -When Zohran Mamdani finished his victory speech late Tuesday after winning the New York City mayoral race, a small crowd gathered around a man with blonde, curly hair who had watched the candidate with a satisfied smile from a corner of the stage.

In a fiery speech after his win, the next mayor of New York warned Trump that the city will stand united: "To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Voters shifted sharply to the left across Virginia, New Jersey and New York City in elections Tuesday, sweeping into office Democrats who focused on affordability and capitalized on frustration with President Donald Trump.

A year after former Vice President Kamala Harris suffered an electoral beating by President Donald Trump, Democrats across the country – from Virginia to California – notched major victories in a sign of growing momentum ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
