Democrats scored a big win in New York on Tuesday, and the numbers were extremely encouraging for the party.
Across the country, Democrats are winning special elections and overperforming in elections they have predictably lost.
And it's fueling optimism among Democrats looking at a challenging election year for both the White House and Congress.
Last month, Democrats picked up a critical state House seat in Orlando, Florida – an important indicator of political mood in the I-4 corridor, home to many Hispanics.
That doesn't necessarily translate into support for Biden, experts note, since the president often polls lower than Democrats running for lower office.
