[quote=Anonymous]The Democrats Just Took a Big Step Toward Getting Their Groove Back
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/us/politics/democratic-party-mamdani.html
Victories in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere were decisive, but new political tests loom for a party still rebuilding its brand.

With their election night triumphs on Tuesday, Democrats showed that their demoralized party — which spent the past year mired in self-recriminations and soul-searching — could still accomplish the most important goal in politics.

They can win. And win big.

The decisive victories for governor in Virginia and New Jersey and mayor of New York City and a major ballot initiative in California — which is likely to yield as many as five House seats for Democrats next year — demonstrated crucial signs of life for a party that was soundly defeated in all seven presidential battleground states, lost control of the Senate and failed to win the House just a year ago.

The results showed a level of determination and energy among Democratic voters that was missing in that 2024 election. This time, their candidates were stronger, their campaigns focused intensely on affordability and an intense desire to deal a blow to President Trump. If the huge No Kings protests last month were the shot, Tuesday’s election was the chaser, with Democrats showing once more that they could turn out to deliver a powerful vote when Mr. Trump is in the White House.
