A huge cheer went up here at Mondani Celebration headquarters in Brooklyn when word came across that he's been declared the winner. People here have been joyous all night talking about this campaign, which they see as a game changer not just for New York City, but for US Politics. Personal person after person who I interviewed said the tone of this campaign brought hope into American politics for the first time, in their view, in years. People say that the policies that Mandani has supported, making the city more affordable, more livable, could really change things here and make their lives better.

NPR's Brian Mann reporting. The AP projects Democrat Mikey Sherrill to win the New Jersey governor's race.

Proposition 50 is Governor Gavin Newsom's response to Texas redistricting plan to gain Republican seats. If Prop 50 passes, it would give Democrats the edge in five districts, including in Corona. That'd likely spell the end for Republican Congressman Ken Calvert, who's represented the area for more than three decades. But Prop 50 opponents like no voter Steve Anderson, say it's overreach from the governor.

I'm trying to keep all my voter rights exactly the way they are, keep everything where the politicians aren't taking over.

Prop 50's lines would expire in 2030, when the task of redrawing district maps would go back to California's independent Redistricting Commission. For NPR News, I'm Madison Ament in Corona.
