Twelve months later, the Republican is celebrating a bittersweet anniversary."
"Socialist Zohran Mamdani won a landslide victory in the race for mayor of New York City, the nation's largest metropolis. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer and three-term former congresswoman, secured the governorship of Virginia for the Democrats.

Trump blamed turnout and the shutdown for Republican losses. The Democratic victories have energized the party.
