Last night, Democrats sent a message.
In the first major elections since Donald Trump returned to the White House, Democrats out-performed expectations in every significant race across America.
In New York City, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor with over 50 percent of the vote.
In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger won the governor's race by more than 15 percentage points, far outpacing any recent Democratic win in the state.
In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill will be the next governor of New Jersey where she regained all the Democratic margins Democrats lost in 2024.
In California, voters approved Prop 50, a redistricting measure to combat Republican gerrymandering.
Dems also swept the Virginia House of Delegates. They held all three seats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. They blocked a GOP assault on absentee ballots in Maine. They won down-ballot races in Trump-supporting Georgia, by big margins. And so much more.
Breath this moment in, because hope is alive again.
What these victories show us is that when we come together, despite our own differences, and stand firmly against oligarchy and authoritarianism, we can win big.
But we can’t get carried away. This is our first big test in the fight to take back our democracy and loosen MAGA’s chokehold on our government. There is still a lot of work to be done.
In fight,
Forward Blue
