"Tuesday night's high-profile elections were hotly anticipated as the first big electoral test of Trump's second term, as Republicans tried to hold on to the governor's mansion in Virginia for a term-limited incumbent, flip the governor's seat in New Jersey, and fend off an ultra-progressive mayoral frontrunner in New York City. Trump was also vocally opposed to Governor Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) Prop 50 push to redistrict the state in response to a Trump push in states like Texas."
"The White House celebrated Mamdani's win with a post featuring a redesigned New York Knicks logo that was altered to read TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT. The post remained live for hours, but was eventually deleted after the team complained to the White House. By Wednesday, the post had been deleted. A source close to the Knicks tells Front Office Sports that the team reached out to the White House about the post, and they voluntarily took it down."
Democrats won major races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, including Abigail Spanberger defeating Winsome Earle-Sears and Mikie Sherrill defeating Jack Ciattarelli. Gavin Newsom's Prop 50 to redistrict California passed by nearly 30 points. Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani beat former Governor Andrew Cuomo, a race in which Donald Trump intervened late with an endorsement. The White House posted an image celebrating Mamdani's win using an altered New York Knicks logo reading TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT. The Knicks complained, and the White House deleted the post; the Knicks said they remain neutral on political matters.
