What yesterday's elections demonstrated is the Democratic party cannot be painted with one brush.

The candidates in NYC, Virginia, and New Jersey were an example of this.

What they did have in common is tapping into the dissatisfaction that people are experiencing under the current administration, and the struggle people are having making ends meet.

Firing thousands of Government workers, trying to slash healthcare benefits, increased prices due to the tariffs, a message was definitely being sent.
