00:00Did a government shutdown just help Democrats sweep the elections?
00:03Even Trump says, maybe.
00:06After a bruising election night for Republicans, Donald Trump admitted something rare.
00:11The government shutdown might have cost his party big at the polls.
00:14With Democrats scoring major victories across the country, Trump met GOP senators for breakfast
00:19at the White House, where the mood was anything but celebratory.
00:23He said the results were, not good for anybody, and hinted that the ongoing shutdown, now
00:28the longest in U.S. history, played a big role in Republican losses.
00:33The most symbolic blow?
00:35Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race in Trump's own
00:39hometown.
00:41Mamdani isn't just any winner.
00:43He's now the first Muslim and South Asian mayor of America's largest city.
00:47In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger made history, too, becoming the state's first woman governor
00:52after defeating the Republican lieutenant governor.
00:55Trump acknowledged the defeat, saying even he didn't expect a win.
00:59And pollsters were right about the shutdown hurting GOP turnout.
01:02And on the one-year anniversary of his own re-election win, Trump found himself facing a very different
01:07reality.
01:09One night, two major milestones, and a political shift Trump couldn't ignore.
