Several key races across the country will be decided Tuesday. In New York City, Democrat frontrunner Zohran Mamdani looks to win the mayor's office over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Obama is not endorsing Mamdani, even after the two spoke for a half hour on the phone this weekend. The former President praised Mamdani's grass roots rise and offered to be a sounding board but stopped short of backing him. In Virginia and New Jersey, voters will choose new governors. In California, voters will decide on Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to redraw congressional district maps. A former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the George Floyd case is getting out of prison today. Tou Thao [[ Too-Tao ]] has served about five and a half years. Thao was the officer who held back bystanders as Floyd was pinned to the ground, and prosecutors said he was indifferent to Floyd's medical needs. Thao's release means Derek Chauvin will now be the only one of the four officers involved who is still behind bars. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Wednesday on the legality of President Trump's tariff plan. The case centers on Trump using a law meant for emergencies to impose tariffs without Congress's approval. Oral arguments were fast-tracked and the tariffs will remain in place until the Court decides. Boston police are investigating an intentional explosion at Harvard Medical School's Goldenson Building. No one was injured and the building suffered no structural damage. Cleaning crews worked over the weekend, and the building is ready for normal operations today. Los Angeles is gearing up to celebrate the Dodgers' back-to-back World Series titles. Fans will hit the streets downtown for a victory parade at 11 a.m., followed by a rally at Dodger Stadium. The team clinched the championship Saturday night with a Game 7 win over Toronto.
