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?

    These are very few inbetween elections. House terms are two years and they all are not split up so happen in november of even years. Senate is six and a third of the chamber goes up every two years. So the elections in november of even years are a bigger deal and every other one of those has the presidential election making it a bigger deal and with more turnout. Given one of our parties can’t even function the primaries in the spring are becoming more significant.

      okay, are all primaries local to a state and is there any specific ones to look out for that would tip the scale moreso than others? or is there one primary event held across all of america?

        primaries are pretty local and don’t happen at the same time. There is even competition to be the first state to do primaries because of the influence early winds have on the presidency. Thats why you see the iowa caucuses things when it comes to potential canidates. That is another thing as some states choose by ballot and some by caucuse.
