Voters in the United States are casting ballots in several closely watched elections on Tuesday, including mayoral races in New York, Seattle and Minneapolis, and gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia. The Nation's executive editor John Nichols says Zohran Mamdani's campaign in New York, in particular, has "captured the imagination of the country." He notes many of Tuesday's races could help shape the agenda of the Democratic Party and move it toward being "an activist party that uses government to really tip the balance in favor of the working class."
