Election results: Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor, Mikie Sherrill wins NJ governor

In his concession speech in the New York City mayoral race, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said his campaign was the "right fight to wage."

"I am proud of what we did and what we did together," he said. "This campaign was to contest the philosophies that are shaping the Democratic Party, the future of this city and the future of this country."

He said it's notable that "almost half of New Yorkers did not vote to support a government agenda that makes promises that we know cannot be met."

He said his campaign was "a caution flag that we are heading down a dangerous, dangerous road. Well, we made that point, and they heard us, and we will hold them to it," he said.

Cuomo thanked New York City Mayor Eric Adams for suspending his campaign "to make us more competitive," saying it was a "very gracious thing to do."

He also offered his congratulations to Zohran Mamdani, who is projected to win the mayoral race, which elicited boos from the crowd. Cuomo quickly chastised the reaction, saying, "That is not right, and that is not us."

Democrat Mikie Sherrill addressed supporters on Election night after ABC News projected she will win the New Jersey governor's race.

After coming out on stage to New Jersey son Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," Sherrill made a promise of prosperity during her victory speech in the state's gubernatorial race.

"Liberty alone is not enough if the government makes it impossible for you to feed your family, to get a good education or to get a good job," she said. "So in this country, that shouldn't be too much to ask, but right now, all of it seems at risk. Governors have never mattered more, and in this state, I am determined to build prosperity for all of our citizens."

Sherrill said it was a "tough fight," and that she had just gotten a call from her opponent, Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

"I want to recognize him for stepping up," she said.

The Republican candidate wished Mamdani well as New York's new mayor but warned he will mobilize his supporters if the democratic socialist attempts to "implement socialism" and "render our police weak and impotent.'

"We're not only organizing, but we are mobilizing and we will become the mayor-elect and his supporters' worst enemies," said Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels, the citizen safety patrol group he started 1979.

Sliwa also told a cheering crowd that "some of the most powerful people in the world" mobilized against his candidacy. Trump urged Sliwa voters to support Cuomo to help prevent a Mamdani victory.

House Speaker Mike Johnson put out a statement criticizing Mamdani and the Democrats after his historic win.

Johnson said Mamdani's win "cements" the Democratic Party's "transformation to a radical, big-government socialist party."

"Now, every House Democrat incumbent and candidate will co-own Mamdani's disastrous record in the 2026 midterms," he added.
