The party won the governor’s race in both states and a state attorney general’s contest that was up in the air, as voters delivered a rebuke of President Donald Trump.

One reason the races for governor in Virginia and New Jersey mark a big victory for Democrats: the results suggest these typically blue states are getting bluer, and Democratic enthusiasm is rising. President Trump lost both states just a year ago by single-digit margins.

U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday was elected governor of New Jersey, defeating Jack Ciattarelli, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
