Democrats regained political momentum with victories in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday, amid early signs that voter unease over the state of the economy in Mr. Trump's second term could open the way for Democrats to win control of Congress next year.
Abigail Spanberger's comfortable victory in the Virginia gubernatorial race and Mikie Sherrill's victory in New Jersey together constitute the most significant electoral victory for Democrats since Trump returned to the White House.
Meanwhile, in New York City, self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is expected to be elected mayor.
These so-called "off-year" elections are as much a political barometer as a referendum. They are a signpost to the future. They could even be a springboard to a comeback. Republicans will be looking for clues as to how Americans judge Mr. Trump's performance in office and what the future holds for their party when he is no longer on the ballot.
Ms. Spanberg, a former congresswoman who won in Virginia, a state particularly sensitive to Mr. Trump's attempts to shrink the federal government, emphasized economic issues, which are likely to be the tone Democrats will use when voters decide in 2026 to take control of the House and Senate, both of which are narrowly controlled by Republicans.
