(Bloomberg) -- Democrats registered their biggest political victories since their stinging loss to Donald Trump a year ago with a series of wins Tuesday night in Virginia, New Jersey and New York, as the party coalesced around a message of economic affordability and voters delivered a repudiation of the president.

Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia both campaigned for governor on pocketbook issues — lowering costs, expanding child care and restoring stability after months of economic turbulence and a government shutdown that’s stretched past five weeks.

In New York City, Zohran Mamdani, a progressive Democrat who ran an insurgent campaign for mayor, won Tuesday after emphasizing the same message on the cost of living — tackling housing costs and widening inequality in the nation’s financial capital.

And in California, voters approved a ballot initiative (PROP 50) that will redraw the state’s congressional district map to give Democrats the opportunity to win a handful of additional seats.
