the massive victory of the Democrats; No to Trump in the US local and state elections – Mehr News Agency RCO News Agency

According to the Mehr news agency, quoted by the American newspaper “Yas e Today”, while only one year has passed since the victory of “Donald Trump” in the 2024 presidential election, the results of the local and state elections in the United States indicate the decisive victory of the Democratic Party in several important states, including California, Virginia and New Jersey; An issue that analysts see as a sign of increasing public dissatisfaction with the performance of the Trump administration.

In the state of Virginia, “Abigail Spanberger” from the Democratic party was able to overcome “Winsome Earle Sears”, the Republican vice governor of this state with a large margin.

In New Jersey, Democratic Representative Mickey Sherrill won against Republican businessman Jack Chitarelli.

In New York, voters rejected the former governor of the state, Andrew Cuomo, and elected the leading figure of the Democratic Party, Zahran Mamdani, as the new mayor.

But the most important development took place in California; Where the voters with a significant majority voted in favor of Plan No. 50. Under the plan, Democratic state lawmakers could redraw the boundaries of congressional districts and create up to five new seats in favor of Democrats before the 2026 midterm elections.

The plan would temporarily suspend the non-partisan delimitation commission and hand it over to state legislatures. According to the law, after the 2030 census, the impartial commission will resume its work.

Political observers say that the approval of this plan is a direct response to the change of electoral boundaries in Texas in favor of the Republicans; An action that was carried out with the encouragement of Trump himself.

Reactions to the defeat of the Republicans and the victory of the Democrats

The President of the United States, in response to the defeat of the Republicans, on the “Truth Social” social network, once again called for the repeal of the filabuster law (ceiling of 60 votes in the Senate) and said that the Republicans should act to amend the electoral laws.

Former US President Barack Obama, who campaigned for Democratic candidates in New Jersey and Virginia in the days leading up to the election, congratulated them on their victory and wrote: These results are a reminder that when we gather around forward-looking and compassionate leaders, we can win. There is still much to do and the future is bright.

Experts believe that the results of the recent elections are a sign that voters are tired of the policies of the Trump administration.

On the other hand, the beginning of a new wave of redrawing constituencies in several states shows that the two main American parties will enter a new phase of political and legal competition on the eve of the 2026 midterm elections.
