00:00The Democratic Party made a sweep of three key elections on Tuesday night,
00:07elevating a new generation of leaders and giving the beleaguered party a shot of momentum
00:11ahead of next year's congressional elections.
00:14We here in New Jersey are bound to fight for a different future for our children.
00:20To everyone who helped us achieve this win...
00:25Besides Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani's win in the mayoral race in New York,
00:31the gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia
00:33were also won by Mickey Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger, respectively.
00:39Supporters of the Democratic Party said they are hopeful
00:41after they ensure Democrats holding on to the New Jersey governor post.
00:47We are just thrilled that New Jersey came out for Mickey Sherrill and did the right thing.
00:53In my opinion, my humble opinion, I think it's really a positive change
01:00and I'm a lot more hopeful tonight than I have been for a long time.
01:04In Virginia, Spanberger highlighted collaboration across party lines in her victory speech.
01:10Leadership that will focus on problem solving, not stoking, division.
01:16You chose, we chose leadership that will always put Virginia first.
01:23And Virginia, I cannot wait to get to work for you.
01:29I have worked with anyone and everyone, regardless of political party,
01:34to deliver results for the people that I serve.
01:38And that's because I believe in this idea that there is so much more that unites us
01:44as Virginians and as Americans than divides us.
01:48And I know, I know in my heart that we can unite for Virginia's future
01:54and we can set an example for the rest of the nation.
02:01The results of the elections are seen as a barometer of how Americans are responding
02:06to U.S. President Donald Trump's performance over the last nine months in office.
