Democrats swept the three major local elections in the US on Tuesday by wider-than-expected margins, giving the beleaguered party a much-needed boost 10 months into President Donald Trump’s second term.From New York’s City Hall to Virginia, where Democrats picked up a gubernatorial seat, and out to California, the victories will bolster morale in a party that’s been reeling after failing to win the White House, Senate and House of Representatives just a year ago.  In New York, voters elected 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, as mayor after he deployed a social media-savvy campaign and joined up with two progressive icons, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  For reaction and analysis, host Doug Krizner speaks with: - Jeanne Sheehan-Zaino, Democracy Visiting Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center and Bloomberg Politics Contributor - Greg Giroux, Bloomberg Government senior reporterSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A status update on the US government shutdown -- as well as scenarios that could potentially lead to the US government re-opening later this week -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Nov. 3. If a deal isn't made, a re-opening may not happen until potential travel chaos associated with the Thanksgiving holiday. We also discussed how a lapse of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits impacted grocers like Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons. Finally, we previewed Wednesday's oral arguments at the Supreme Court where the justices may provide insight on whether or not President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs are lawful.

The issue took center stage after Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that the White House believes it can pay troops this Friday, once again taking a political grenade — missed paychecks for the military — off the table.The maneuver would clear the way for missed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits Saturday to become the No. 1 pressure point on lawmakers to end a nearly month-long government shutdown.Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.
