High stakes in off year US elections

It’s Election Day in an off year, but the stakes are broad. New York City could elect 34-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani—who beat Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary—as he faces Cuomo, now running as an independent, with Republican Curtis Sliwa still in. California voters weigh Proposition 50 to allow mid-decade congressional maps through 2030; a UC Berkeley/IGS poll shows 60% support. New Jersey’s governor race between Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli is tight, and Virginia will choose between Abigail Spanberger and Winsome Earle-Sears, guaranteeing the state’s first female governor.
