Democrats still have tall order to regain majorities, but optimism abounds Democrats had a big night Tuesday. The biggest prizes were governor’s races in New Jersey, where voters made a change after 8 years of Chris Christie, and in Virginia, where Ralph Northam will succeed fellow Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
