A Night for Democrats: Zohran Mamdani & The Party’s Future 11/5/25

Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa in the NYC mayoral race, part of a sweep for Democrats across the nation’s elections. CNBC’s wealth editor Robert Frank reports on the impact this victory will have on the city’s wealthiest population and its tax revenue, and CNBC’s Emily Wilkins is in Washington, DC, reporting on the returns across the country. As many Democrats celebrate, tech investor and MAGA donor Chris Buskirk weighs in on the opposite side of the political aisle; Buskirk maps out his vision for America’s next era of success, and it hinges on innovation. Plus, Eamon Javers is covering the Supreme Court hearing on President Trump’s tariffs.
