Tonight, the Country Gave the Middle Finger to Donald Trump and His Project 2025 Fascist Brand

In a stinging rebuke of Donald Trump and his Project 2025 Fascist Brand, Democratic candidates, both base progressive and pragmatic progressive, across the country defeated MAGA supporting Republicans in every major contest.

In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, by a wide margin, won the Governors Race. The Democratic Lieutenant Governor (Ghazala Hashmi) and Attorney General (Jay Jones) also won. Hashmi is the first Muslim woman candidate in the country to win statewide office.

The Democrats in Virginia also expanded their margins in the Virginia House of Delegates.

In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill easily prevailed to become the Governor-Elect in a race that many thought would be more of a nail biter. It was not. She pummeled her opponent.

In New York, Zohran Mamdani crushed former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the New York City’s Mayor Race.

In Pennsylvania, voters retained three State Supreme Court Justices, allowing Democrats to hold their three seat majority on that judicial body.

In California, voters passed Proposition 50 which would mandate the redrawing of the state’s congressional districts as a counter to what Texas did last summer.

In Georgia, two Democratic candidates for the Georgia Utility Public Services Commission, won elections to that body for the first time in 25 years.

In Maine, voters said no to voter id requirements, tougher absentee voting guidelines, and ballot drop box restrictions.

They also said yes to giving judges in that state the power to take away firearms from violent people.

In Colorado, voters to decided to retain a tax revenue measure that paid for children’s free meals in state wide K-12 schools.

Looks like enacting policies like price raising tariffs, kidnapping innocent people off the street without warrants, spiking the price of health insurance rates, having Gatsby style parties at Mara Largo while people starve, trying to rig elections, pass tax cuts for billionaires, postponing/cancelling infrastructure and clean energy job creating projects, and shutting down the federal government, did not appeal to the great majority of voters across the country.

Surprise Surprise.

Tonight, the majority of the country gave a collective middle finger to Trump and Project 2025 Fascism.

A great victory for Democracy.

The people did their part.

Onto to 2026 and 2028.
