Elections were held in the United States on November 4, 2025. The off-year election included gubernatorial and state legislative elections in a few states, as well as numerous mayoral races and a variety of other local offices on the ballot. Special elections to the United States Congress for newly vacant seats also took place.

In what was widely described as a "blue wave" election, Democrats both flipped the governorship of Virginia and held onto the governorship of New Jersey by landslide margins, flipped 13 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, flipped 5 seats in the New Jersey General Assembly (reaching a super majority in the chamber), scored a decisive redistricting referendum victory in California, and won several other down-ballot statewide races in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Georgia. In New York City, Democrat and self-identified democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won a three-way race in the mayoral election.

Democratic success in this election was driven by widespread concern over the economy. Voters felt that President Donald Trump was failing to deliver on his 2024 campaign promises of economic renewal from the 2021–2023 inflation surge. Many voters also felt that Trump’s sweeping tariffs were worsening the state of the economy. ^[1] Voters in Virginia were impacted heavily by Trump's policies, as Northern Virginia is home to many federal government workers who suffered either from the mass layoffs ordered by Trump and Elon Musk with the Department of Government Efficiency throughout the year or the concurrent federal government shutdown. ^[2]

Hispanic voters swung hard to the Democratic Party after a string of rightward shifts towards the Republican Party starting in 2020, calling into question a perceived political realignment among the constituency. Some Hispanic voters expressed frustration during and after the election with Trump’s handling of the economy and ICE's aggressive deportations under his administration. ^{[3] [4]}

Several elections also took place throughout the year, notably on April 1, 2025, which included an election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and two special elections for the United States House of Representatives in Florida's 1st and 6th congressional districts. ^[5]
