Center Owned by HT MediaAll three Mamdani-backed candidates secure midterm wins in New York House races
What's behind this
In the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, Democrats secured sweeping victories across battlegrounds, industrial states and former Republican strongholds, ending unified Republican control and reshaping the balance of power in Congress. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he hoped the Democratic gains would bring increased assistance for Ukraine’s war with Russia. Party leaders, including mayor Mamdani, urged Democrats to maintain momentum and shift from a defensive to an offensive strategy, noting that a unified economic message helped overcome internal divisions. Democrats pledged to use their majorities to rein in former President Donald Trump, even as he accepted his loss and displayed an under‑construction White House ballroom amid a wave of anger.
