New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday described the Democratic Party’s sweeping victories in the US midterm elections as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s policies and the country’s political establishment. Reacting to Democrats securing control of both the House and Senate, Mamdani called the results an “incredible” blue wave. He said voters had rejected politicians who dismissed working people’s demands as unrealistic while prioritising the interests of wealthy Americans. Mamdani also criticised Vice President JD Vance’s appeal for Republicans to be given two more years, arguing that Americans could not afford further delays in addressing their pressing concerns.
