i read that "democrats won everything", but i only understood it as a NYC election where Zohran Mamdani won the post of mayor.

which political elections have happened and which are upcoming?

They're losing the House in most timelines. But the Senate is a bit tough, all but one of the seats up for reelection is in a solid blue or solid red state, Maine is easy to flip, as for the other red seats... it's an uphill battle, 3 seats + Maine is needed. You'd need a massive "blue wave" in order to flip those.

Staggered elections... totally fucking us

I know about third party trickering in the presidential election, but how probable is it there could be a non dem/republican senator? Are there any in the house?

Diversity is often a good thing for democracy (except when you have stupid winner takes it all elections like you do and we have here in france too).
