US EditionFive Races to Watch on Election Day 2025
Off-year elections in key states and cities will affect party control and voter sentiment, involving high-profile races and ballot measures with 6.6 million early California voters, officials said.
- This Tuesday night, November 4, political strategists will watch returns in the Virginia gubernatorial race, New Jersey gubernatorial race, New York City mayoral race, and three Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention races, affecting nearly 41.2 million Americans.
- Marquee gubernatorial fights in Virginia and New Jersey are expected to test party momentum and strategy ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, analysts say many contests serve as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second presidency.
- Virginia will choose between Abigail Spanberger and Winsome Earle‑Sears on Nov. 4, while New Jersey pits Mikie Sherrill against Jack Ciattarelli, and New York City reports more than 735,000 early ballots in a three-way mayoral race.
- California voters will decide on Proposition 50, which could cost five Republicans their seats, while Pennsylvania retention votes may shift the Supreme Court to a 2-2 split.
- If trends hold, the contests will test whether Republicans maintain gains with working-class voters and people of color while Democrats regroup after 2024, shaping 2026 midterm elections strategies.
