Will New Jersey and Virginia Send Trump a Message?

AP25132858276877


Across the country, Democratic leaders and voters are beginning to push back against Trump’s cruelty and chaos. Some are cautiously optimistic that a few key state races could serve as a crucial odd-year referendum—with major implications for voters, donors, and even Republican politicians who may reconsider their allegiances after significant MAGA defeats.

Joining us today is our own national affairs correspondent, John Nichols, who, in our July issue, turned his focus to two potential bellwethers: Virginia and New Jersey, which has a crucial primary on Tuesday. He spoke with politicians, strategists, and activists to understand what’s at stake this fall, and who might be best positioned to deliver a winning message.

  2. Hi,

    I checked your website and noticed a few issues that might be hurting your Google rankings — like:

    Low visibility for key search terms

    Weak or missing Calls-to-Action (CTAs)

    Slow page speed or lack of mobile optimization

    These gaps often lead to missed traffic, fewer leads, and lower conversions.

    I’d love to offer you a SEO + CTA audit to identify what’s holding your site back — and how to fix it.

    Should I send the report over this week?

    Thank You,
    Manshi Sharma
