The Latest: Democrats notch wins for governors, mayor over Trump’s picks

Voters in races across the country have backed Democrats, including in New York’s mayoral race and contests for governor in New Jersey and Virginia. They're rejecting President Donald Trump’s late and lightweight push for his preferred candidates. Voter attitudes about the president and his agenda were central to their choices and offered the first clear review from voters of Trump’s agenda just nine months after he returned to power. Top Democrats celebrated the results as a major victory over Trump. The president responded to the results on Tuesday night with a defensive social media post.
