The Democratic wins by candidates with sharp ideological differences will do little to settle the partyfs long-raging internal debate about its way forward, with a host of competitive midterm primaries just months away and the 2028 presidential primary already looming.
But their campaigns had some things in common. Though their solutions were different, the candidates focused on the issue of affordability. And they were all fiercely critical of Trumpfs performance.
gItfs not just a message about Democrats; itfs a message about our entire country. I think Americans are appalled by what they are seeing coming out of this administration,h New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN from Mamdanifs victory party.
In California, voters approved by a wide margin a redistricting ballot measure intended to boost Democratsf chances in next yearfs battle for control of the House. And in Pennsylvania, Democratic state Supreme Court justices won their retention votes, allowing Democrats to keep their majority on the high court in a perennial battleground state where legal challenges over voting rules are all but certain.
