These broader economic anxieties were accompanied by high discontent in some of the off-year elections. More than half of voters in New Jersey and Virginia said they were “angry” or “dissatisfied” with how things were going in the country. The 2025 election two weeks ago crystallized how big a problem the economy and affordability appear to be for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Trump’s initial strategy for dealing with this problem appeared to be pretending it didn’t actually exist. Trump set about falsely claiming prices were actually down, that there is “almost no inflation,” and that everything was more or less hunky dory. It was bizarre, even from a president who often seems to reside in his own elaborately crafted alternate reality. New polling conducted since Trump began driving this message shows Americans continue to see things very differently than Trump has cast them. And their reviews of his economic stewardship appear to actually be getting worse. “Our groceries are way down.

Everything is way down,” Trump said November 6. “Groceries are way down, other than beef,” he said at another point. He added last week that grocery prices were “already at a much lower level than they were with the last administration.” National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Rep. Richard Hudson says 2025 elections "wake up call" to conservatives to "show up and vote" in midterms. In the wake of last year's tumultuous presidential election, which exhausted many Americans, it was expected to be quiet on the 2025 campaign trail.

But with President Donald Trump back in the White House and Democrats itching to rebound after last year's ballot box setbacks, 2025's off-year elections were anything but sedate. Here are five of the biggest moments that shaped the campaign trail. Just eight days into Trump's second term in the White House, demoralized Democrats had something to cheer about.
