US: As New York votes, the Democratic Party’s future is on the line
New York faces a high-stakes mayoral election with progressive frontrunner Zohran Mamdani leading the race. His campaign focuses on tackling the city’s soaring cost of living, but questions remain over his support among Jewish voters amid deep divisions over Israel, as FRANCE 24's Angela Diffley explains. Donald Trump has called Mamdani a communist, though some believe he secretly wants him to win. At the same time, governor races in New Jersey and Virginia are also putting the cost of living at the heart of the political debate, with the future of the Democratic Party hanging in the balance.
