Democrats scored a historic sweep Tuesday, capturing key races in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New York, leaving Republicans shut out and building momentum ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Tuesday’s results leave Republicans reeling as Democrats consolidated power in governors’ offices, state courts, attorney general seats, and city halls, reshaping political dynamics in three key states ahead of the midterms and the 2028 election. The outcome also represents a major defeat for President Donald Trump, who worked frantically to rally support for Republicans and even issued threats in an attempt to defeat Mamdani.
