Reactions to Mamdani's Victory
Zohran Mamdani's decisive win in New York City's mayoral race has prompted a range of reactions from state Democrats and others.

- House Speaker Mike Johnson and New York State GOP Chair Ed Cox claimed Mamdani's victory solidifies the Democrats' transformation to a big-government, socialist party.
Republicans asserted Democrats will face the negative consequences of that in congressional and other elections next year.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries scoffed at those Republican depictions.
