They voted blue, no matter who. Democrats swept the off-year elections, largely in response to President Donald Trump’s first nine months back in office. Yet the future of the Democratic Party remains up for grabs.
Most voters said in exit polls that their ballot was intended to send a message to Trump. Every county in Virginia and New Jersey voted more Democratic than in the previous governor’s race. Trump’s gains last year with minorities evaporated.
While being anti-Trump was enough to win this year, and might work again in the midterms, the exit polls reveal that the Democratic brand remains underwater. Spanberger won 20 percent among voters who hold an unfavorable view of her party, and Sherrill won 17 percent. In the New York mayor’s race, Zohran Mamdani won 33 percent.
