The margins in many of these races show the depth and breadth of Democratic strength one year after President Trump’s 2024 victory. It’s a long time until the 2026 midterms, but these states’ elections are always looked to for early signs of the mood of the electorate – and these results look at least as strong for Democrats as in 2017, which presaged a big wave election one year later that handed Democrats control of the U.S. House of Representatives and a check on Mr. Trump.
