MIAMI—President Donald Trump criticized democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race while speaking at a business forum on Nov. 5, one day after Democrats won elections in multiple states.

“We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we'll take care of it,” Trump said.
