Democrats won important victories in the local elections in the United States

On Tuesday, candidates from the Democratic Party won the local elections in several states, inspiring optimism to the democrats a year before the intermediate elections to Congress, where the party is now in the minority.

The victory in the election of the governor in Virginia, where the current vice-governor Ralf Northam, who criticized President Trump and his politics, won the main thesis of his election campaign, attracted the greatest attention. Northem scored about 54 percent of the vote, significantly ahead of the Republican Ed Gillespi, who advocated restriction of immigration and in defense of the confederate symbols. President Donald Trump, saying that Gillespy had a worthy campaign, scolded the candidate for the fact that he more decisively did not support the presidential policy.

In New Jersey, Democrat Philip Murphy, one of the heads of the Goldman Sachs investment bank, will be replaced by the Republican Governor Chrisi. Christie, who served two deadlines as the governor, could no longer put his cap for governors. Moreover, his ratings fell to 15 percent by the end of the second period. Due to the unpopularity of Christie, the Republican candidate had no chance of winning New Jersey.

In New York, in the mayor’s elections, Bill de Blazio won the second time in a row, who became the first from the late 80s of the last century by a democrat elected for a second term. De Blazio, whose opponent was the member of the city council, Nicole Maliochestis, who was practically unknown to New York, promised to introduce more sparing taxes on homeowners, expand the financing of preschool education and increase taxes on the most wealthy residents of the city in order to increase investments in renewal and development of the New York metro.
