New York set to elect socialist Mamdani as mayor, setting up clash with Trump
				
																	
								
				New Yorkers are projected to elect leftist Zohran Mamdani as mayor on Tuesday, a move seen as opening a new front in opposition to President Donald Trump and risking retaliation against his hometown. Off-year gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey will serve as key tests of US political sentiment.
