The Democrats dominated the first major election day since Donald Trump became president with a series of victories

Democrats flipped 29 seats in Connecticut’s municipal elections, with the state Democratic Party chair calling the results historic.

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Wednesday that the Democratic Party must step aside to let candidates "shine" after recent wins in New Jersey, Virginia and New York elections.

Donald Trump emerged battered by an election night that was disastrous for his party, after failing to deliver on the promise that secured his second White House term: lowering the cost of living for Americans.

Democrats won gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia, held three Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and voted for a new election map in California.

Democrats were riding high after their election victories, while Republicans were brushing aside off-year races as aberrations that aren't predictive of the 2026 midterms.

All three of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices who sought reelection will get another term, ensuring Democratic jurists keep their majority on the high court.

Just 1 of the 22 candidates endorsed by the Wake County Republican Party won in the 2025 elections, as Democrats broke modern records for voter turnout and ousted GOP mayors in multiple Raleigh suburbs.
