Poll: Tuesday's races were a quiet rebuke of Trump for many voters

Democrats secured governorships in New Jersey and Virginia and approved a new California map shifting five congressional seats, signaling a strong voter response to Republican redistricting efforts.

  • On Tuesday, Democrats posted big wins across the United States, and an AP Voter Poll found many voters opposed or viewed President Donald Trump as irrelevant in key races.
  • Local factors such as prior conservative school board takeovers and immigration issues tied to President Donald Trump's agenda fueled Democratic gains in key races.
  • Notably, Democrats won key races, with Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger securing congressional seats, and Ghazala Hashmi becoming the first Muslim woman elected statewide in Virginia.
  • Immediate consequences include shifts in congressional prospects and state-level majorities, as Proposition 50 could shift five U.S. House seats to Democrats, who broke Mississippi upper chamber control and retained Pennsylvania state Supreme Court.
  • Large margins in several statewide races, including 24-point wins, and Republicans failing to regain courts ahead of the 2028 presidential election could reshape redistricting maps and future strategies.
