“A Stunning Rebuke Of Anti-Trans Politics”—Dems Win Elections Nationwide Despite Anti-Trans Ads

Erin Reed argues that the 2025 U.S. election results amount to a clear rejection of anti-trans politics. Despite heavy GOP spending on anti-trans ads Democrats notched sweeping wins. Abigail Spanberger secured the governorship by a wide margin, Republicans’ attorney-general candidate lost to Jay Jones, and Democrats led in dozens of House of Delegates races. Local school board contests in Virginia also favored pro-trans candidates. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill defeated an opponent who campaigned on forced outing policies and attacks on gender-affirming care. Reed highlights New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s unapologetically pro-LGBTQ+ platform as emblematic of the shift.
