The Latest: US Voters Head to the Polls in First General Election Since Trump’s Return to Power

Voters in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City choose governors, mayors, and approve a redistricting measure that could shift five House districts to Democrats, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, voters head to the polls in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City, with California redistricting also on the ballot.
  • Democrats are treating these races as testing grounds for messaging coming out of 2024, using them to rebuild after a bruising cycle and gauge appetite for moderate candidates while Republicans view them as a barometer of support for President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.
  • Quinnipiac’s Oct. 30 poll shows Rep. Mikie Sherrill leading Jack Ciattarelli by eight points in New Jersey, while Emerson College’s recent survey shows Abigail Spanberger up 11 points in Virginia.
  • A redistricting vote could flip five House districts if Proposition 50 passes, while Republicans warn it may benefit Mamdani’s mayoral bid in New York City.
  • Beyond immediate outcomes, these races offer an early read on 2026 and 2028 dynamics as Virginia will elect its first female governor this year, marking an uncommon milestone.
