Nationally, Democrats appeared to be split on what to make of Mr. Mamdani. For some, his success expanding the primary electorate by aggressively focusing on affordability provided a blueprint for a party looking to regain its national footing.

French president Emmanuel Macron called for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, saying “military strikes” could be “chaos”, Reuters reports.
Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 gathering in Canada, Macron said “we don’t want Iran to get a nuclear weapon” but cautioned that “the biggest error would be to use military strikes to change the regime because it would then be chaos”.
