Elections gauge mood in Trumps second presidency

Voters in several states head to the polls Tuesday in contests seen as an early verdict on the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency. Governor races in Virginia and New Jersey hinge on affordability and spiking energy bills, while New York City’s mayoral race pits Democrat Zohran Mamdani against independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Silwa amid mixed signals from party leaders. California’s Proposition 50 could replace commission drawn maps to boost Democrats in the House fight. Pennsylvania weighs retaining three Democratic justices, and a Houston-area special election in Texas draws a crowded field.
