President Donald Trump fumed on Tuesday’s election night results, firing off a cryptic four-word message on Truth Social after a series of bruising defeats for Republicans across the map: “…AND SO IT BEGINS!”

The post came at 11:34 p.m. ET, less than an hour after California handed Democrats another structural advantage when voters in the state overwhelmingly backed Proposition 50, a redistricting overhaul that could shift multiple GOP seats next year.

The all-caps musing followed outbursts demanding election reform and a repeated call for a ban on the filibuster:

But California was not the only key loss that rattled the president.

Democrat Zohran Mamdani became mayor-elect in New York, the same city where Trump once loomed large, and where he had threatened to withhold federal funds if Mamdani prevailed.

“If we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves,” he told supporters during his victory speech, adding: “After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.”
