In the United States, they pointed to a number of major victories for the Democrats since Trump came to power.

Representatives of the US Democratic Party have won major political victories in various states since the defeat of their candidate in the presidential race in 2024. This was reported on November 5 by Bloomberg.

Democratic candidates Abigail Spanberger and Mickey Sherrill won the gubernatorial elections in the US states of Virginia and New Jersey. The mayor of New York was the 34-year-old Democrat-socialist Zohran Mamdani.

In addition, Democrats in California won several additional seats in the House of Representatives due to the approval of the initiative by voters to change the boundaries of the state's electoral districts.

"These victories demonstrate that the Democrats have regained some of their pride and reconnected with voters after [US President Donald] Trump won in all the swing states a year ago, while strengthening his position in the traditional bastions of the Democrats," the article says.

Gone to the break: Trump cuts funding to Democratic states

In the US Congress, it is not possible to overcome differences between the parties

On November 3, Trump announced that he could limit federal funding to New York, with the exception of the most necessary minimum, if the Democratic candidate Mamdani wins the mayoral election. He stressed that he would prefer to see a Democrat as mayor who "achieved success" rather than "a communist without experience and with a reputation for complete failure."

Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo acknowledged Mamdani's defeat in the election on November 5 and congratulated him on his victory.
