Tuesday was the first major election day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House for a second term. Democrats won a number of elections, including the New York City mayoral race, on the day. Now the debate over the future of the Democratic Party has begun. One big issue has caught the attention of many. That is the economy. Now it is a major challenge. Trump could not fulfill the promise he made last fall to improve the country's economy. This failure could create major problems for Republicans in next year's midterm elections. On Tuesday, Democrats won the gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey.

Only these two states voted to elect a new governor. Democrats also captured three Supreme Court seats in the swing state of Pennsylvania. In addition, various proposals have been passed on referendums in various states from Colorado to Maine. Trump has been largely absent from the campaign trail. But Republican candidates have closely aligned themselves with him, thinking his big win last year would pave the way for them again. But they were wrong. Democrats are hoping their victory will pave the way for a new strategy in the upcoming midterm elections. But they also need to be cautious. Tuesday's election was limited to a handful of swing states; most of them are blue-collar (Democratic voters are in the majority) and the party that usually holds the White House does not do well in midterm elections. In perhaps more exciting news for Republicans in Washington, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Zohrab Mamdani, has become the next mayor of New York City.

Former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger is the next governor of Virginia. She is also the state's first female governor. Another Democrat, Congresswoman Mickey Sherrill, won the governorship of New Jersey. They have focused their campaign on issues such as the economy, public safety and health care. Tuesday’s election results showed that Democrats fared better in fast-growing suburbs, rural areas and areas with military voters than they did four years ago. Democrats won by distancing themselves from the party’s far-left policies. Spanberger said in his victory speech that they prioritized “realism over partisanship.” Several Democratic leaders believe that a moderate strategy could be the key to their party’s revival, especially after Republicans won the presidency and both houses of Congress last year. Most importantly, Democrats in both states have focused on the rising cost of living, such as food, energy and health care, which Trump has struggled to control. In addition to taking a moderate stance on economic policy, Spanberger and Sherrill have not placed much emphasis on progressive issues, such as LGBTQ rights and Trump's attacks on the country's democratic institutions.

Spanberger has also rarely mentioned Trump by name in his campaign. That is, the Democrats have stayed away from these political issues and talked about the real problems of ordinary people's lives, such as the economy, security, healthcare, etc. Their campaign strategy has attracted moderate voters. Spanberger was an officer of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He worked as an intelligence officer abroad for a long time. Sherrill was a helicopter pilot in the Navy for 10 years before becoming a member of Congress. Both of them highlighted their public safety experience in their campaigns. They highlighted their own experience in response to Republican accusations that Democrats are not tough on crime.
